GuyTelefunken Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 It's inside the fuel pump assembly, inside the fuel tank. And yes, it's "supposed" to last a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"i will welcome myself back to the forum as im,woo hooooooooo, finally unsuspended! hahaha!" brian Not sure, never new they claimed it was lifetime. I sometimes have a flat spot in the throttle, thought maybe fuel starve IDK. Car has 50k on it so im thinkin probably unlikely. Id like to put a 75 shot on it with a custom cold air. I saw how fun it is to swap out the plugs. LOL. Havent seen alot of bolt ons for this year. congrats on your reinstatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakataj Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 yeah they claim the gs series to be a lifetime fuel filter and i have never heard of any complaints or problems but that doesnt mean there arent any! what year is your car? where is the flatspot? wot or beginning of throttle? or just anytime? have you thought maybe your injectors might be clogged instead of the fuel filter dirty?

Always run 93 but cant rule it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakataj Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 i've always run 93 also........but that wouldnt stop the injectors from being dirty or getting clogged! just saying it is a possibility not that thats your answer for 100%! i would check the injector and make sure they not dirty or clogged before i checked the fuel filter as its in the tank and supposed to be lifetime (and whats lifetime to the dealer? maybe 10 years if it doesnt get totalled or something???) and also have u owned the car since new? maybe old owner used 87 or 89?
