    What Exactly do you mean by not running

    Won't start?

    Won't Crank?

    Won't Stay on?

    How many miles do you have that you think you slugged up your filter that bad for no fuel to be getting to your motor?

    its wont start.. but it cranked though... there are no fuel pumping to the engine at all.. i think it probably the fuel filter is too dirty dat make the gas cant go thru...or maybe the fuel pump is not working ....right now my car is about 73xxx miles on it..

    The fuel filter is the complete cap portion that the pump, sump filter, regulator, and fuel level sender is attached to. In the DIY section near the first posting there should be a stickies page, open that page and you will find a link to the Helms manual. This will help you troubleshoot your issues and show you how to replace the assembly. There are also several very good threads concerning the fuel system in the DIY and engine section. Try a search of the stickies.

    Ok, so 47 is the fuel pump assembly. If you wanted to replace the filter, you must buy the whole pump assembly?



    What is number 9 in this diagram? It's referred to as a "canister filter" in the catalog. What is it for?

    9 looks like a fuel filter from what I've seen before. Just replaced one on my neighbor's Explorer.
