Today i changed the little black rubber thing on my fuel pump the other one was bad so i took it off another one but i also put gas in my car thats 2000 jamaican $ cause im from jamaica n it runs out quick i went around the town n the gas light came on at quarter tank how tho? Should i put more gas in it so it could go over in the other tank? And it will be good ?
Thanks. I can do this one quicker than the total length of the video when I'm in the right mood. They are pretty simple. I did this job as a break from tricky stuff as I don't really have to think on it. I have a mate with a 3.0r so maybe I should do his one too for another video.
@@CartuneNZ Yeah for sure! If I was more proactive about it I would have alot more content about my 3.0r up but however. Cool channel btw keep it up man, good to see some kiwis on here.
@@spiritofsubaru5307 I was looking for an earlier 3 litre myself but this 3.6 cam up at a good price. NZ new Premium with leather. I think the 3 litre is a better engine though and the 4 speed auto being a better trans too. I won't be doing too much subaru stuff though. Not my main work. I also have an old forester I drive around the farm. Better than a quad and surprisingly good offroad.
@@CartuneNZ I can tell you they are a good ride. I have an NZ new 6mt bsepc 3.0r with leather/sunroof etc, very nice to drive. Lots of fun with the avcs+avls, Ill try to make some more content to show it. I like the idea of the forester farm hack, probably great for carting firewood to and fro!
This is an insane amount of work to replace a fuel filter. It is just slightly easier than replacing the highlight bulbs. I think my first Subaru will be my last.
These are fast to do once you know what to do. Ive taken just as long as doing the external type which are bolted low on firewall where airbox and other bits need to be removed.
It's a really simple job and only required infrequently. I can do the whole job in about 20 minutes which is comparable to many seemingly easier to access filters. I like it as it compact and keeps things simple.
Good video, but I am confused. Isn’t the filter basket the only thing that needs to be replaced? The rest seems to be hard plastic which would be good as new once cleaned out. (Assuming the seals were still good.)
Since I have done this change, the reserve fuel has not been sucked - I have checked the O ring what goes under the reserve fuel line. Donno what can be the problem:(
No change in gas mileage. If a filter is blocked to the point its effecting performance then its been changed way too late. This is a maintanence item for me. Cheers
Hello good video, My Sub has 160K miles on it, I never replaced the filter. It has zero issues with the fuel system would you suggest a preventive maintenance change?
Hello. I would definately recommend a maintenance change. I often cut filters apart from well maintained cars and find the fuel filter definitely ready to be renewed. Cheers Kelvin
I change my filter every 50000km, so no way I'm changing a fuel pump that often, and its only about a 20 minute job when I'm not holding a camera. About the same time as changing an external filter on some mazdas, Mitsubishi and toyotas where its mounted low in the engine bay with a few other parts to get to it. Not a big job at all
Unfortunately yes. I was hoping to find a video similar to other cars where the fuel filter is under the hood, not under the dam rear passenger seat (american version)
Hello. 2010 outback has exactly the same setup as my car from this video and definitely have a fuel filter and Subaru factory do have a recommendation on changing it. Cheers Kelvin
Many manufacturers have gone to this, toyota its now common, ford / mazda its common. I'll do a video on my 2001 ls430 at some point, a car thats 8 years older than my subaru, so maybe subaru was just copying toyota?

Watching in 2023 good vid. My sub. Has 152,000 miles now I think it's time for a new filter. Oh by the way your steering wheel is on the wrong side.😊
There is no wrong side
😂👍

Thank you! Washington ,DC…It seems a lot to do but I like working on my own car.Thanks again for the video!
Thanks this really helped, saved me a trip to mechanic. Btw, don’t think that bar is on the American edition of the Outback mine didn’t have one.
There are few differences , you are correct. Glad I could help. Cheers Kelvin
Nice video man, this job seems a whole lot easier than the fuel filter replacement on the 4th gen 3.0r!

Telling us you're a girl without reaching into your purse for ID.
I have dropped the fuel tank from below on a Ford Taurus and a Chrysler minivan - this is a piece of cake.
Wow. awesome video. Thank you. Car designers are determined to make cars so difficult to work on. Anything to get your hours of labor for repair work.

Question, so this is the fuel filter and the fuel pump as well? It’s all together filter and pump?
Thank you
Great video! CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
Right on!

Did you figure out what the problem was? The same thing has happened to me, got stranded when gauge still said tank was 1/4 full
@@rosscampbell5607 not yet, I guess there is something in the aftermarket fuel filter, should try an oem one
I thought I will take out both filters from left and right side, and I put both of then in a seperate bucket, and test it
Did you have a noticeable improvement of gas millage after doing this?
Thanks for taking the time to make this video by the way!

@@CartuneNZ Good video!- so to that end- how many miles typically should one change the fuel filter at?
Huge thanks for your video!
Nice video, well done mate, easy to follow, esp for a Kiwi😉
Haha, for a kiwi. Next you will hit me with something about sheep.
Hello good video, My Sub has 160K miles on it, I never replaced the filter. It has zero issues with the fuel system would you suggest a preventive maintenance change?
Hello. I would definately recommend a maintenance change. I often cut filters apart from well maintained cars and find the fuel filter definitely ready to be renewed. Cheers Kelvin
My sister's 2013 Subaru outback with the 3.6L wants it changed about every 60k miles to prevent damage to the pump and keep everything running well.
I will let the pro's do my fuel filter. But nice video. America here.
Thanks Robert. I have owned a few subarus in my time and enjoy working on them. Cheers Kelvin.
can a bad fiIter cause detonation?
Alot of work to change out a filter for someone such as myself that is not as mechanically inclined.
Absolutely not a job to do if your arent confident with this sort of job. Cheers Kelvin
Great video mate.
Glad you like it. Cheers Kelvin
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Hey! got a question for you: did your car have any o'ring between the hose and the pump tip?
Yes. There is an o-ring there.
@@CartuneNZ excellent. My 3.6 Does not have it, so i Will have to Look for one
Nice work but there's no way I'd go through all that if I wasn't replacing the pump!

Are these the same steps for a 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5 limited?
Yes, pretty much all the same. Cheers Kelvin
Unfortunately yes. I was hoping to find a video similar to other cars where the fuel filter is under the hood, not under the dam rear passenger seat (american version)
I have this car. One thing I haven't done
Well worth doing it. Being my own personal car its 50000km since I did this video so wonder how it looks now.
@@CartuneNZ I've just done a clutch engine been out . Was off road for 2 years
@@CartuneNZ mines on 100k Mike's
Miles even
I asked the dealer abut my outback 2010 to change it Thay say u don’t have fuel filter in your car is this True or no
Hello. 2010 outback has exactly the same setup as my car from this video and definitely have a fuel filter and Subaru factory do have a recommendation on changing it. Cheers Kelvin
Subaru dealerships do not change these. So I wouldn't buy a used Subaru from one.
The whole point of this video was to replace the fuel filter , however you decided to reuse the old one 😂 so you just replaced the basket lmao
Totally incorrect. I replaced the fuel filter, as in the video it's seen that I cut the old one apart.
this is embarrassing. Subaru engineers did no one any favor. my other cars took 5 min to change out the canister filters. embarrassing
