Well I finally decided to finish replacing my rusted fuel lines. A couple years ago I switched over to nylon line from the fuel pump forward about two feet then kept the steel the rest of the way forward. It was finally starting to get very questionable. Check out my old fuel filter neighborhood. People out west unfortunately don’t get to enjoy these projects! If my Montero were an airplane I would have been grounded 10 years ago. I’ll post the after photos later. Amazingly the two bolts on the filter bracket came right off without even using any spray. I’m switching to Dorman quick disconnects. Can’t wait to get this done.
Side note, for a vehicle with serious off road and racing roots, I never understood why it appears zero effort was expended to protect the fuel filter. It’s hanging right out in the open really, even a piece of highway debris could take it out.
