Many models have a canister filter that is clip mounted on the firewall below the brake fluid reservoir. Some models have it underneath the vehicle and held with a clamp. Fuel system must be depressurized first, and then the cable has to be disconnected from the battery negative terminal. Detach filter from bracket, loosen screw clamps, detach hoses from top and bottom of fuel filter, and remove filter . A majority of models mount fuel filters in clips on the firewall - just pull them off to gain access to fuel lines. If located beneath vehicle, separate hoses from the filter and then loosen nuts to remove filter from bracket (pay attention to direction of installation). The filter orients itself naturally with inlet and outlet pipes ending at opposite sides which are clearly labeled. Make sure that you install your new filter correctly so that it faces in right direction. On firewall mounted filters, when installed correctly, there should be outlet pipe facing up and inlet pipe facing down. For filters mounted under the car, the outlet pipe should face forward while the inlet pipe should point towards rear of vehicle. It is a complete opposite for installation. Securely tighten screw clamps as well as install inlet and outlet fittings again. Connect battery cable; start engine & check for oil leaks.

Relieve the fuel system pressure, then disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. If you're working on a Frontier or Xterra, raise the front of the vehicle. If you're working on a Pathfinder, raise the rear of the vehicle and be sure to block the front wheel to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the stands. On Frontier models, the fuel filter is mounted to the right frame rail, near the fuel tank. On Xterra models, it's located on the crossmember just in front of the fuel tank. On Pathfinders, it's under the vehicle, near the rear differential. Clean off any dirt surrounding the fuel inlet and outlet lines. Loosen the clamps on the inlet and outlet hoses, then detach the hoses from the filter. Have spare rags or a small container to catch or wipe up the gasoline that will spill from the filter. Unscrew the fuel filter mounting bracket bolt and remove the fuel filter from the bracket. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure the filter is installed facing the proper direction. If spring-type clamps are used, it's a good idea to replace them with screw-type clamps.
