bro that's a nice action-shot there of the rusty gas pissing outta the filter 
lol, that's some nastey stuff
I replaced mine with about 285k on it!!!
the fuel that came out didn't look that bad, lol, but I had the intake manifold off, and it was pretty much right there, so I replaced it...
I tried before removing the intake, and I said screw this, and just hung onto the filter for about 4 months, lol

I had mine off in like 15 mins. Of course being cold out was a motivator.
My old filter pissed out rusty crap like that after the gas. That was the whole cause of my no start condition.
Anyone move their filter to the upper wheel well?

I just get the 13 dollar ones and replace them every 6 months... Have had no issues.. works well for me!
Mine is right above the passenger rear wheel.......easy to get to.
Also that is dirty, hopefully it will get cleaner!

I've got a fuel filter sitting in my garage but I can't get my old one off. It's been sitting there for 3 months now. Anyone have any tips on removing the hard lines and replacing them? That damn thing is just tight as hell
