sir, madali lang ba magpalit ng fuel filter natin? kaya ba sa gasoline station? near 20,000 km na siya at di pa siya napalitan before. accdg to manual kasi is sa 20,000 km pa, including transmission at differential oil (balak ko sa gasoline station na lang) di na ko sa casa after the 15,000 km. mahal! di ko pa nakikita ginagawa nila.

madali lang... tanggalin mo lang yung mga rubber hoses (fuel in and fuel out hoses), tapos tanggalin mo yung dalwang bolt. Now comes the hard part

kelangan meron kang pag-iipitan nung pinakaholder nung filter, vise grip or something. gagamitan mo ng oil filter wrench yung fuel filter para matanggal sya. kung wala kang oil filter wrench, pwede mo naman pihitin by hand yung filter kung malaki ang kamao mo at malakas ang grip mo, balutan mo ng goma yung filter para di dumulas.
pag natanggal mo na filter, punuin mo ng diesel yung bagong filter, make sure na yung rubber gasket ng fuel filter basa din ng diesel. screw back mo na yung fuel filter sa holder, and bolt the hold back sa engine bay. ikabit mo ulit yung hoses (make sure na hindi nagkapalit yung "in" and "out" hoses), then pump mo yung plunger ng fuel water separator para mawala hangin. Pwede din wag mo muna ikabit yung "fuel out" hose bago mo i-pump yung plunger, hayaan mo lang tumapon yun diesel at ma purge out yung hangin sa loob.

that's it. hope this helps ;)

I am looking for a car next year and hope this thread could help me choose between the tucson gas and diesel. On the new cars today, what could be the cost of maintaining each car and fuel cost?

Thanks in Advance.

Gentlemen:

Most of the fuel economy issues regarding diesels consuming around 5-6 km/ltr are due to poor maintenance - I have several diesel pickups and they consistently get 10-12 km/liter.

I replace the air/oil/fuel filters every oil change (5000 km).

I keep the vehicles aligned.

I regularly check the tire pressure.

I maintain the fuel system (no calibration yet) - NO AIR or Fuel leaks.

Do this and all will be well.

Best Regards,

Dusky lim
