  Q: How to replace the fuel filter on a Chevrolet C1500 and K1500?

  A: All models employ an in-line fuel filter located on the left side frame rail, under the bed. To replace it, first relieve the fuel system pressure. Place a drain pan under the filter area. On most models, the fuel filter is an inline type mounted inside the frame rail. Use back-up wrenches when loosening the fuel line fittings at the filter. Use a flare-nut wrench to disconnect the fuel lines from the filter, and be sure to use a back-up wrench to hold the filter. Be prepared to deal with residual fuel when loosening the fittings. On some later utility models, the fuel filter is in a cartridge type housing. Unscrew the housing and let the fuel drain, then clean the inside of the housing. Install the filter as it was removed. On cartridge type systems, lightly oil the cartridge gasket and put a new filter into the housing. Tighten the housing 2/3 of a turn after the gasket makes contact. After completing the work, check the area carefully for fuel leaks. If the fuel filter was clogged, the fuel tank may have dirt in it and may need to be cleaned.
