Anyone got a write-up on replacing a fuel filter?
At 110k...it might be time to change the filter.
It was pretty easy on the 94 mustang gt I had, but what about these? How do you go about it?99 T/A M6

He beat me to it.
Yeah its pretty straight forward. Just undo the end with the nut then undo the quick disconect pull it out then put the new one in. Also undo your gas cap before you start to relieve any pressure in the system, you'll still end up with gas on you but it should't be as bad.
Wow 30-60 min expected time that total bs more like 10-15 min tops.

Well I doubt Id notice a performance increase, but what about mileage?
And how much does a fuel filter run?

funny cuz i do the same thing. just for peace of mind.
also you could see a performance increase if yours it stopped up, maybe not much but something. a tip--after you take it off, blow thru it with your mouth the way the fuel goes thru. you can tell how stopped up it is by comparing it with your new filter.

I just used whatever they had at my local Autozone, think it mught be Fram. Anyhow they shouldnt be more than 10 bucks. And yes, you will feel a difference.

First time replacement...
Well, I did my filter change yesterday for the first time on this car. Id say it was about as hard as changing oil.
And yes, it took just under an hour..including driving to the store and back, plus finding the right tools in the garage. Why the fuck must I have all English measurement tools?
The ONLY bitch was the fuel line. I was surprised it was rubber, in any case, making room for it to com eout of the filter was annoying. I bent the rubber hose. After I reinstalled the new filter, i took a gander at the fuel line to make sure no permanent damage occurred. So far so good. No leaks.
I blew through both filters and there really wasnt that much of a difference. Well, there was at first.... I blew through it and it was terrible, then dirty gas came out. Then it was almost as free flowing as the new filter.
No performance increase.

I too bend the fuel line when changing mine. One tip I read afterwards is to undo the fuel line strap that is located back as bit from te filter which gives more flex to get the line off.
