Fuel Filter Change
I went to change the fuel filter yesterday. The damn thing lives almost directly under the front passenger seat (or drivers seat for you guys in the US). It's tucked away in a compartment which has a lot of covering around it for protection. And after spending hours trying to get at it I had to abandon because it was getting dark. Put everything back together and left it.
The difficulty was trying to get all that covering off. I undid all the bolts and screws, got the covering loose all round (it's a sizeable single piece about 4 feet by 2 feet) and tried to remove it. Would only come down a bit at the front, and practically not at all at the back. Tried to just pull the front down further but couldn't get it down far enough to allow sufficient access to the filter.
Anyone got any hints or tips here ? Bloody thing nearly broke my heart .....
