    Top of the line video on this repair. None better I've viewed. Thanks much.
    Unusually clean underbody. Indiana road salt is working on ours but still cleaner than most. Gotta use the pressure washer underneath as best you can here.

    The first hose you remove at 1:33, does anyone know exact name or part number of that? I ran over a branch that shredded that tube badly. Need to replace, but having trouble determining for sure what to buy.

    Well done! 5star install video. In my case in the coupes the metal fuel lines rot out on the driver side going up over the rear wheel. And I broke the 10mm bolt on the fuel filter. Slide the filter out don't bother touching the bolt 2 for 2 broke.

      Same here. Twisted the end off the charcoal canister mounting bracket. Line broke into by the rusted through area by the wheel on removal. Got the full length factory line to replace. Unbelievably difficult path to fish that line through. Not much wiggle room. Considering cutting the new line and reassembling with compression fittings. Would be rust free new but hate to cut new lines on installation.
      If they made the line in sections and with flared fittings it would be much easier to install. An aftermarket company makes that very thing. Some have nylon flexible lines but won't fit in stock mounting brackets. I really wanted the OEM one piece line to work but on floor jacks it might be more trouble than it's worth.

      Is that the valve next to the engine? What did that cost to replace? I think I may have the same problem. How old was the car and how many miles on your car when this happened?

    tip remove fuel line from fuel rail and put it in a gas can then remove fuel pump relay turn on the key and jump the two posts for the relay and the fuel pump will drain the tank into a can with no mess and fast

    I had issues with my fuel filter leaking...Replaced it. Had issues with my Starter...Replaced it. Had issues with my Fuel pump, replaced it...Got a video also. Seems the cobalts didnt get good fuel system installation and parts upon being manufactured lol. I was wondering why my car had such poor mileage, I was thinking it was my old tires...But I kept smelling gas and it was getting stronger and stronger. Luckily it was just a fuel filter. But with this I'm glad there was no spark or nobody threw a cigarette out the window lol.

      Retro Tech & Electronics one thing I find odd, is that the Pontiac G6 which (to my understanding) is supposed to be more luxurious than the Cobalt/G5 doesn’t come with a cabin air filter, or an external fuel filter (it’s built into the sending unit/fuel pump, idk what it’s called)

      Looks easier to me once someone gifts you with a well made video tutorial. Takes the guesswork out of the equation. I've done these 3 times already on other vehicles and each is assembled different. Gets easier every time. Especially when a quality TH-cam video like this shows exactly what to do and refreshes my memory. Worked on hundreds of cars over the decades and it's a constant learning process. Small challenges are fun when you're not in a hurry. Lol
      Old Chevy 350s were my favorite engine back in the 70s and 80s. Much easier to work on.

      Take a break and try again. The right combination will seem effortless. Patience and finesse is better than a big hammer and high blood pressure. Many parts are fragile on vehicles today. Be gentle as possible.
      Works for me.
