So the big paper filter does nothing to protect the in-tank pump anyways. But they said no, in fact the fuel flows sock>pump>filter>engine. I said the only benefit I could see to the in-tank filter was that it may filter the fuel before entering the pump and hence protect the pump from crud and grit. THey would entirely remove the in-tank filter (but presumably not the sock). A local Sube independent has offered to either change the fuel filter with another OEM one, or to remove it and relocate the filter to the engine bay with a modification. You rock!įast forward – we now have a 10 Forester XT with the in-tank fuel filter (42072AG140 if I’m correct). I really appreciated your parts and your help. I hadn’t torqued down the bolts holding down the camshaft on one side, so it was rattling around. Incidentally, I called you at the end of the job with a strange rattling noise, but never told you what it was. Still running strong with 295k km (the engine at least). Justin – firstly, I want to thank you for helping me out 3.5 years ago with a HG job on our 01 Foz. We usually suggest it should be done around 90k but thee is no reason not to do it sooner if you like the idea of preventative maintenance. So if you have a 2004 and newer Subaru, and since the filter rarely is serviced as part of a 30/60/90k service do to the new complexity in replacing the filter you should inquire about having it replaced.

You can see the dark spot in the filter element, the filter was doing its job, but needed to be replaced. Its difficult to capture in an image but this fuel filter pictured below, having never been serviced and the vehicle having over 150k caused the fuel pressure to drop, but as a result the fuel pump suffered some damage and had to be replaced. There is an acces panel, but the passenger compartment is in fact exposed to the fuel vapors. The problem with this is that in order to service the fuel filter the electronic fuel pump and sending unit must now be removed from the gas tank. Starting in 2004 Subaru decided it would be better to make the fuel filter part of the fuel pump and fuel level sending unit.

From 1985 to 2004 any fuel injected Subaru had a fuel filter mounted neer the drivers side strut tower in the engine compartment.
