How to Replace a Fuel Filter in a Plymouth Voyager

The Plymouth Voyager was one of Chrysler's entries in the minivan market in the mid-1980s. By the third generation (1996-2000), the Voyager was a sleek, graceful vehicle with a broader wheelbase and all new chassis components. The standard engine was the 2.4L DOHC with 150 horsepower and a three-speed automatic transaxle. A 2000 Voyager in mint condition is a great find. The steps that follow guide you through the installation of a new fuel filter.

Instructions

1

Make sure the engine is completely cool. Relieve the pressure in the fuel system. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Elevate the vehicle and support the fuel tank with a jack.

2

Disconnect the fuel line from the front of the tank. Remove the ground strap, the inboard side fuel tank straps and the front T-strap fastener, then lower the tank approximately six inches.

3

Take the fuel lines from the fuel pump module. Plug the fuel lines with golf tees to prevent the spillage of gasoline. Remove the fuel filter.

4

Install the new fuel filter. Set the bolts in place and torque them to 40 inch/pounds. Tighten the main tank straps to 40 foot/pounds and the T-strap to 250 inch lbs.

5

Reconnect the fuel lines in the reverse order of their removal. Lower the vehicle. Connect the negative battery cable.

6

Start the engine and let it run for several minutes. Inspect the fuel lines for any leaks.
