    Default Location of fuel filter?

    WHere's the fuel filter located on a '90 525 M20? I did a search and couldn't find it.

    Thanks

    And take the wheel off to change it, makes it MUCH easier.

    Besides fuel all over my arm, this was easier to change than the microfilter.

    don't forget to remove the gas cap BEFORE removing the filter, to release pressure from the tank and get less gas over your arm...

    Take 2 vice grips and cover the ends in tape and clamp them on the hoses.
