Paying good money for filthy gas (pic)

[Jeremy_K]

I just changed the fuel filter on my 04 Yukon Flex fuel. What a pain in the rear! I bought the fancy tool to release the stupid clips and followed the directions exactly. The directions should just say: Insert tool into fuel line fitting, then dick around for like ten minutes until the fitting pops off. :cuss: So anyway, I managed to catch some of this expensive nectar in a clean container and I couldn't believe how filthy the fuel was. This was the fuel on the tank side of the filter. Thank God the filter did it's job because the fuel on the other side of the filter looked pretty clean. Seems like a lot of dirt for only 50,700 mi.

in the end, how much time and money did this cost you?:

The filter was $12 and the wrench was another $12. It took me about 20 minutes. Learning how to work on your own vehicle... priceless!

Good thing that never got into you're engine.
