Hi,

How often I have to change fuel filter or pump. On my previous forester fuel filter was on the front, but now I think it is in the tank. I do check on eBay an I find fuel pump kit or just strainer (I think it is filter?)

Think for your year they are in tank, part of the pump / pickup system, seem to remember something about replacement every 60k but that might be my Impreza

Could you please send me link how look it filter or link to eBay or online shop

Item number 20 in the link

picture - its the teabag type thing on the pump uptake

 

Thank you very much.

Tea bag type thing is the fuel screen/strainer, the filter is above the pump (zinc plated with white plastic top)

You can actually remove it & bridge gap with fuel pipe & add the older engine bay fuel filter to the fuel line in engine bay. Was/is a popular mod for people in locations with less than great pump stations/fuel as could change filters more regularly & at a fraction of effort & cost.

thank you.

Are you able to tell me how to do it?

Have a look at this thread for some guidance points

Thanks for that Mr B - clearly got the wrong end of the stick with the diagrams
