Not a critic, just a precaution reminder. Engineers often are pushed to make 'efficiency' changes in designs, and - as a result - one model in March might have a change in October (the Director of Engineering needed brownie points with the President), so changes were made, and mechanics down the line are kept in the dark and fed b.s., like fungi. Always, notice Brand, Model and year of manufacturing. It even goes more bizarre: Sales and Marketing - when providing clot to the units sold outside their manufacturing region - give DIFFERENT colour TONE to the same Paint description.

Just bought my daughter a 2000 outback today this is a seriously helpful video buddy, thanks man I'd have had a hellava time finding that. Happy trails, I'm sure that oughta make a huge difference. Right on
Subscribed! Great video, I have an 09 Legacy and going to change my fuel filter tomorrow your video has helped me understand what i'll need to do thanks!
man i just changed my ford fusion eu model fuel filter, never done it before, took 5 minutes. No tools required just some clips that you have to push and its on the edge under the car leftside, that is behind the driver. no need to lift the car either. Very easy.
LMAO yo i live in Guelph to! i noticed the news papers are Guelph mercury and tribune, man what are the odds i would randomly be watching your video and see that....small world
I put my serial number in the Subaru parts site for my 2004 Subaru outback normally aspirated 2.5 manual, that fuel filter shown here looks nothing like what they are saying fits the car.
I agree, that would have been a good idea. A new fuel sock is kind of expensive and wasn't in that bad of shape. Since, I have seen people doing serious builds on the same car and didn't change the sock. I figured it would be okay.
+Chasing Snails ah no kidding? i didint realize the fuel socks were expensive on a subaru i got mine for a 05 lexus es330. for $4.85 on amazon And the original sock is $16 bucks. but anyway as long is your subaru is running good thats all that counts :)
Sweet man, we've never had a vehicle with a filter in the tank so your clip is going to make the renewal a lot less painful. Bugger your filter looks nothing like my new filter assembly, mine is a white plastic box assembly and for a 2004 Subaru Outback wagon. Oh well further searching required.
Shouldn't you have also changed the strainer for good measure and since it's so cheap ? Anyway, that's what I'll do on weekend on wife's car. Thanks for the video.
I agree, that is a very good idea to replace the strainer. The strainer was still pretty clean on my car and the subaru dealer far away so, I didn't bother. But it is a good idea, especially if it is dirty.
Well... I got a new pump installed, new fuel filter, but strainer: could not find locally and damn, I already had the car opened, etc so I just (yell at me, pls) reused the old... didn't look terribly bad.. just yellow/orange but ok. Didn't fix the stuttering but hey, it's something less to look at.... and yes, new spark plugs too. No oil around the seals.
Don't worry, I won't yell at you. I don't think the strainer is the cause of the problem. Does it only stutter when the engine is cold? Or when it's fully warmed up too? I am told that can be caused by faulty O2 sensors. The computer can't get a correct reading and then the tune gets funny causing the car to stutter or sometimes idle really high. I think that there is a way of checking that with some diagnostic equipment, but that is beyond my expertise.
I blindly changed the pump, filter and sparks; but no lucky. The stuttering was pretty inconsistent, hard to reproduce but was happening always close to idling or in between 1500-2500 rpm. Lucky (or should I say need) came to go on a 120 miles trip and come back towing a uhaul trailer (moving kid out of college) and we had to use the car since it is only one that could carry 3 people, some luggage and the dog. The car went one way quite alright but on the way back it was really bad, losing power and jerking. We managed to limp back home and all the time I was thinking what could cause all that trouble so at home I was determined to find... Lo and behold, the first thing I found is that the American Subaru (at least 2002) doesn't have a MAF sensor, so that could not be cleaned. I started then with air intake out - the air filter was allowing unfiltered air because it was old and out of shape - put a new one. Next, TPS, took it out, measured 4.7 k, smooth traveling, no problem. Next, took out the IACV and the thing was badly gunked up. I used a brake cleaner spray to clean it then soaked a small rag with cleaner to wipe the hole where the IACV goes in. I ended up not removing the throttle body because it was late and I was tired. Assembled all back, the car fired up no problem (just a couple gasps from the brake fluid cleaner) but it's been running fine since then (3 days ago).
Thanks for sharing this video and how to do it , I have an 04 Outback too with the H6 engine . Did you use an OEM fuel filter kit or was it a Jobber ? Can you give us the part number code , I"m at 198 k km and I should do this before I start losing pressure too , thanks again .
+James Dot I used an OEM filter from Subaru. I wasn't able to find anything aftermarket. It was kind of expensive (around $70). I don't have the box with the part number on it anymore. But you should double check with Subaru anyways, as it might be different for an H6. Good luck.
thank you very much for sharing the video Chasing. @12:18, before and after you turn the key to on, the fuel gauge just keep pointing to half tank. is that an known issue of your car or caused by filter replacement? thanks
sorry. it is a 2002 subaru outback 3.0 H6. it's been out of service for a few months. someone put sugar in the tank lol (ugh....). I replaced the fuel pump assembly and put in a new fuel filter. I cupped out all the gas I could and wiped what my hands had access to in the tank with warm water & paper towels. there is now 10 fresh gallons in there. I'm trying to start it now, fuel pump assembly has been primed ...... on the verge of starting but won't crank. cranks when I spray starting fluid, but won't start fully....... I'm doing this alone, I spray then race into the driver seat as fast as I can lol. .....any suggestions? thank you :).
Wow, that sucks. Sugar in the tank. My obvious first suggestion would be to get someone to help you and crank it over while you spray starting fluid in. There is also the possibility that there is still bad gas in the fuel lines after the tank and maybe fouled the injectors. I would try what I first suggested first. Next you could pull the fuel lines as close to the injectors as possible and try to run some fuel out before reconnecting it. That is a tricky and messy job, so see if you can get it started the easy way. Good luck.
+Chasing Snails yes, thank you very much. I suspected the fuel injectors. I have one side of the engine cover off.....need the right socket wrench to take 2 deep bolts & I can check 3 of the injectors....... in the meantime, I'll keep using the spray & hopefully find another human out here in rural Arizona lol. I am very grateful for your suggestions......I know I'm on the right track :).
great vid man I have a 2014 impreza sport model i keep having this issue where i start car and sounds and feel like its bogging down and the rpm's shoot really low as if car is about to die. I step on gas seems to help get it back to normal. would this be a filter problem or starter ar 74k mi? or something else? no mods base 2.0 model
That's odd for such a new car to be giving you issues like that. Is it still under warranty? I wonder if you could take it to the dealer if it is. It does sound like it could be a fuel pressure issue. I doubt that it would be related to the filter with that little mileage. It is more likely an issue with the tune. Which would probably be a faulty sensor. I couldn't even guess which one. With such a new car, it would probably be best to take it to mechanic to get it diagnosed. If it's still under warranty, you could go to a dealer. If not, I would suggest someone who specializes in Subarus. As if you have to pay a dealership for diagnoses they can really rip you off. Good luck.
Great Video bra. I have a 2004 Subaru legacy 2.0L Turbo. I have to start three times to rebuild the pressure for the car to start. The fuel line in the engine is crimped using tie strap. Do you think the filter that from my knowledge needs to change so the car starts and works fine? B) Would I be burning more fuel this way if the filter needs changeing?
I am not sure what you mean by the fuel line in the engine being crimped. That sounds like something to remedy first. If your fuel filter has never been replaced and your car is an '04. It can't hurt to replace it. Though, if your car has trouble building up fuel pressure it could be something else.
Hello chasing I have a subaru outback 04 with 200000 miles and I never have a change to change my fuel filter. I went to auto zone and O'Reilly and they don't have the fuel filter. where do you get yours.
+Will Garcia Hi Will, sorry I haven't checked up on this video for awhile and google didn't send me an email about this comment. Anyhoo, I had to get this filter through Subaru directly. Part stores can't get it and it is really expensive, around $75. I would also recommend getting the big o-ring that goes at the bottom of the filter. It is also kind of expensive and you may get lucky and be able to re-use the old one, but it might not be worth the risk. It's also a good idea to replace the big rubber gasket between the fuel pump assembly and the top of the tank. I didn't and it seems okay so far. But ideally you would if you plan on keeping your car for awhile.
I have been looking for this filter for a while and have had no luck. Subaru said they could order it but they want 80 bucks for the filter, 50 bucks for the small o-ring and 65 for the larger o-ring. This cant be right. Do you have a part number I could take to a parts store?
+Adrian00702 Hi Adrian, sorry I don't have a parts number. You should be able to get one from Subaru. However, I had the same experience as you and ended up buying my filter from Subaru for $75. You should be able to reuse the small o-ring (on the top of the filter), but it's a good idea to get the big o-ring too and ideally you would replace the rubber gasket at the top of the fuel pump assembly. I didn't and it seems okay so far, so, it's your call. I think they charge $80 or so for that too. I was able to re-use the larger o-ring but only the next day after it sat overnight, it must have cooled and shrunk or something like that. I almost guarantee you won't find it anywhere else but from Subaru (which is unfortunate as $65 is a stupid price for a little piece of rubber), I tried every store I could think of with no luck. Good luck.
That is very kind. Don't worry about if for now. There may be a patron support link in the future. For now subscribing to the channel and watching the videos would be really appreciated. I promise to get some new ones and more regular videos soon.
I am not sure, but I would be doubtful. Some cars fuel tank arrangement can be quite different. Many cars do have a access under the back seats, but usually the backseats need to be unbolted to be removed.
Great information. It would be better if you did not sound so damned distracted. Couldn't you have pushed the hoses off to the side, under the floor plate? Clearly the opening is not big enough to have the hoses up through the floor while lifting out the pump assembly.
It might look like the hoses are in the way in the video. But the challenge of getting the pump assembly out is the float arm, if you don't get it out at the right angle, you can bend or break the float arm.
+Recklessly Arrogant No, the fuel filter setup is quite different in a BRZ. Pulling it out of the tank would be similar. But the filter and pump housing is all plastic and a bit different to work with. Good luck.
This confirmed what I hoped wasn't true. Hate in-tank filters. Cheers bud.
Not a critic, just a precaution reminder.

My hyundai accent has a similar design with its fuel filter. Your video really helps me understand where this piece is located. Thanks!
All of a sudden, the music appears! Cool!
The Guelph Tribune. Nice touch
Subscribed! Great video, I have an 09 Legacy and going to change my fuel filter tomorrow your video has helped me understand what i'll need to do thanks!
+LostAquarium glad to help. Just a warning, that the fuel pump/filter assembly is a bit different on 09 than on the 04 in this video. Good luck
Hey man! Your videos are very helpful. Fiancée and I just bought an 01 forester and yes, it does need some tlc, but your videos have helped!
man i just changed my ford fusion eu model fuel filter, never done it before, took 5 minutes. No tools required just some clips that you have to push and its on the edge under the car leftside, that is behind the driver. no need to lift the car either. Very easy.
salamaza that’s because ford is a piece of shit. fuel filters are in different places on different car makes. Not all are easy to get to.
LMAO yo i live in Guelph to! i noticed the news papers are Guelph mercury and tribune, man what are the odds i would randomly be watching your video and see that....small world
Right on dude! Glad you enjoyed the video.
cheers bloke from Qld australia
Thank you do much for help.
Very helpful video. Showed me exactly what to do. Thanks.
I put my serial number in the Subaru parts site for my 2004 Subaru outback normally aspirated 2.5 manual, that fuel filter shown here looks nothing like what they are saying fits the car.
The music in the background isn't necessary and in fact distracting. Thanks for sharing.
Music in the background is not loud enough to be distracting at best the music is mostly elevator music, anyway who cares cool video!
Great video!
Good video very well put together and looks very simple only thing you should have replaced the fuel sock sense sense you had the pump out but hey
I agree, that would have been a good idea. A new fuel sock is kind of expensive and wasn't in that bad of shape. Since, I have seen people doing serious builds on the same car and didn't change the sock. I figured it would be okay.

Trying to find a video on how to change our fuel injectors on my 2003 outback??Have you dine a video on how to?
sorry, I haven't done a video on that yet. Nor have I done that job on that particular car. So, I am afraid I can't help you out.
Thank for the video could you tell me the number part please?
No sorry I don't know it. I got rid of this car a long time ago. It was a factory part. So Subaru should be able to help you.
Thank u .very much

did you ever figure out which one is correct? we have a 2004 normally aspirated 2.5 not sure what to buy
@@djflashlinx5150 In Australia we have a Repco store and I purchased it there, they have all the listings so we can't go wrong.

Great vid, but you scared me with the pliers
thank you very much for sharing the video Chasing.
@12:18, before and after you turn the key to on, the fuel gauge just keep pointing to half tank. is that an known issue of your car or caused by filter replacement? thanks
+Huide Yin I don't think that it was a problem, I think that my car just had a 1/2 tank of fuel in it
+Chasing Snails when you switch it off, it should point to empty, isn't it?
No, not on that car, it still reads the level when the car is off.
So you dont have to empty the gas tank to change the filter
No, not necessary. I recommend having the gas tank no more than 3/4 full, 1/2 full or less is better. Saves spilling so much gas all over the place.
Do you have a part number for that filter?
Did you find out how to get one? Im having trouble finding one
No, sorry I don't.
Do you have a part number I can reference?
