Don't worry if you if you can't figure out the diameter of the fuel line, because the auto parts store can look it up. You must always replace the fuel filter on your vehicle if you will be changing the fuel hose.

Remove the Old Fuel Line Once you have all your tools and new parts at the ready, you can begin the process of replacing your fuel hose. Locate the fuse box and remove the fuel pump fuse. Start the engine and run it until it stops. Remove the fuel filter and trace the fuel line to the transfer unit.

Remove the air cleaner if you are changing the hose leading from the fuel filter to the carburetor. Put rags under the end of the hose where the gasoline will come out. Loosen the metal hose clamps just until the clamp slides back over the bump that is close to the end of the line. Place a rag over the end of the hose as you remove it from the filter. If the hose sticks and is difficult to remove, use the pliers to grip and turn the hose.

If the hose still does not come away easily, use the razor knife to split the hose along the direction of the line. Have the shop rags ready, because the fuel in the line will begin to drain once the hose has been removed. Remove the fuel line from the steel tube at the fuel block.

Twist it a bit if it is stuck. After you remove the hose, clean off any dirt, hardened rubber, fuel, or other contaminants from the steel tube. Place the old hose on your work bench to measure the new hose, adding an extra two inches. Attach the New Fuel Hose Now that you've got the old hose removed, here's the steps you'll need to take: 1.

Place the still-loose clamps over the new fuel hose. Be sure the clamp screws face the correct direction for easy tightening. Check the new fuel filter to be sure it faces the correct fuel-flow direction. Place the hose ends on the steel tube and at the new fuel filter. Check the new fuel line for fit. If there are any kinks in the hose, remove the hose and trim a bit from the ends. Replace the clamps in the correct position and tighten the screws to hold them firmly in place.

Reattach the hose to the new fuel filter, and then tighten the clamp. Reattach the vehicle's battery cables. Dispose of gasoline soaked rags, the old fuel line, and any contaminated items properly. That's it! You've just replaced your fuel line. May you have excellent gas mileage, perfect performance, and a great ride! How To Check Tire Pressure Back in the days of full-service gas stations, checking the tires was part of the deal.

Today, as many motorists pump their own gas, and as even full-service does not include a tire pressure check, it is important for drivers themselves to be aware of their tire conditions and pressure. Inflating and maintaining proper tire pressure ensures safer, more comfortable driving and better fuel efficiency.

Particularly in times of high gas prices; in inclement driving conditions such as heavy rain, snow, or ice; and in vehicles of all sizes, tire pressure can make a major difference in driving, wherever you are.

Given the importance of the task, you might think it is complicated, but checking and maintaining your tire pressure is simple, provided you have a good tire air pressure gauge and source of air, both of which are available at many gas stations.

Get a Gauge A simple tire air pressure gauge, available at most auto parts stores, for a few dollars, is adequate for the job. You do not necessarily need a digital air pressure gauge. However, you should consider whether it will require batteries, and whether this would prevent you from using it. Again, a standard pressure gauge that measures pounds per square inch PSI and fits easily in the glove box of your vehicle, is sufficient.

Do avoid ultra-cheap models that may not give a proper reading. As for a source of air, many gas and service stations have air available for 50 cents or so. Some of these air machines have gauges on them, and if you have no other means of measuring the pressure of your tires, these will work. However, they are typically beat and inaccurate, so have your own gauge to ensure the proper PSI for your tires and vehicle.

Checking Pressure PSI is measured by the notches on a tire air pressure gauge or with a number reading on digital gauges. To find out what PSI is right for your tires, look on the tires themselves. When buying new tires, or getting a rotation, it's a good idea to ask what the right pressure is.

Recommendations may vary, but you should never inflate the tires five PSI more or less than what is recommended on the tire. Under-inflating wears out the sides of the tire, and is actually a driving hazard. Over-inflated tires will wear more quickly, and are also dangerous because of the increased possibility of a blowout. If you are unsure about the PSI for your tires, or it is unclear or worn away on the side of your tires, ask your mechanic or someone who knows about vehicles what PSI you should have for your tires.

Larger vehicles with larger tires, including bigger sedans, usually have higher pressure, around 45 PSI. Tires should all be inflated to the same PSI for safety, proper vehicle function, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Also, check your vehicle's tire pressure when the tires are cold. This means the tires should not have been driven on for at least three hours. If you need to drive to get air, try to drive less than a mile. Or, slightly under-inflate the tires to compensate for the warmer air inside them, and then check the pressure again when you can get a cold reading.

To get a PSI reading on your tire, place the air pressure gauge onto the tire's valve stem, the pencil-width air nozzle on the side of the tire. Try to place the gauge evenly onto the valve stem. This will allow air to escape, but once you firmly press the gauge down on the valve stem, it will stop the flow of air and give your gauge a reading, either by blowing out the metered stick with a traditional gauge, or a reading with a digital model gauge.

It is best if you can park your car centered on the source of the air, which usually has a hose to reach the vehicle's tires.

You may need to move the car to reach all of the tires, depending on the situation. Before you pay any money for air or start pumping up your tires, remove the caps on all the tire valve stems. Next, you should check the pressure of all four tires, noting which ones need the most air. This will help you maintain uniform pressure in the tires, some of which may need less air. Hot weather, extreme temperatures and other conditions can cause the air in your tires to expand, and PSI can subsequently increase.

Once you know which tires need more air, you can deposit coins into the air machine, or get your air hose ready. Choose the first tire to fill, and fit the air hose nozzle onto the tire stem. When you start to place the air hose onto the tire stem, it will hit a pin inside the stem and start leaking air.

You know when you have the air hose nozzle properly applied when the leaking air stops. It takes some force to get the hose locked on, but once it is in place, you will be ready to increase the tire pressure. Some air hoses are automatic, and will release air in your tire once you have it on the tire's valve stem. Other air hoses have handles and require you to squeeze them to activate the air. It is important to have your gauge as you fill the tire, taking the hose off somewhat frequently to check the pressure.

It is extremely important not to over-inflate your tires. You can avoid this by using small bursts of air between your checks. As you increase the PSI and keep checking it, you will get a feel for how much air you are putting into the tire, and how much more you need. Once you get close to your recommended PSI, use less air, and keep going until you are at the right level.

Once you have the tires properly inflated, replace the stem caps by screwing them back on. Do not over-screw them, as they will break on the top. Tire stem caps are important to keep your tire valve stems clean and undamaged. Tire pressure should be checked weekly, or every other week at least.

Particularly with severe weather and temperature swings, tire pressure on the nicest tires with the nicest cars can still fluctuate, and must be monitored and maintained regularly for safe and fuel-efficient driving. How To Put On Tire Chains Some motorists may not be familiar with them, but tire chains for snowy, icy, and steep mountainous roads are common in some states.

In some cases, particularly in the steep mountain passes of the Rockies, the Sierra Nevadas, and the Cascades, tire chains are even required at certain points. Even drivers who are familiar with snowy and icy driving conditions must have tire chains to maintain safe control on mountain roads and highways. The grade of mountain inclines and declines combined with snow and ice can leave the biggest four-wheel-drive or the most nimble front-wheel-drive vehicle with little road control.

Putting tire chains on your vehicle is not the most simple task, but it is sometimes required to keep you rolling, and once you have installed snow chains for a first time, you will be ready to chain up and keep on driving through the snowy mountains, every time.

When obtaining your tire chains, you must first make sure they will fit your tires. Most tire chain packaging has a guide that indicates which tires it fits. Stores and markets where chains are sold also have guides, or employees who can help you get the right size. Never try to attempt to use chains that are too large or too small for the tire, as this could result in dangerous driving and damage to your car. Dry Run The same way it is a good idea to test the braking and steering on a snowy or slippery road, you should test putting on the tire chains before you reach the mountain roads where they may be required.

Pick an open stretch of street, or a vacant parking lot. Take the chains out of their packaging or case, and untangle all of the links so they are hanging free in a web shape. Place the two separated chains by the tires to which you will apply them.

For a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the chains should go on the front two tires. For rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the chains should be applied to the rear two wheels. Some trucks and extreme conditions may call for tire chains on all four wheels, which is fine, but make sure you put the chains on the right tires when you only have two.

With the car parked, parking brake engaged, and car in gear, place the chain onto the tire, holding it from the top and ensuring that it is evenly placed over the wheel. Obviously, the bottom part of the chain cannot cover that portion of tire that is touching the road. Just fit the rest of the chain onto the wheel as best you can.

Some chains have rings that go on the inside of the wheel, and help guide the chains into place. For these ring-type chains, be sure the open connection is on the bottom of the wheel.

Once you place the chains on and the ring is going around the inside of the wheel, you can connect the bottom of the ring. This usually requires you to get right down under the car by the tire. You may need to change position to get the best angle on the connection. Once the chain is evenly and securely on the three-quarters of the wheel that is not touching the road, repeat the process on the other side.

When both chains are on, check to make sure the front of the car is clear, and drive forward a few feet. You only need to drive far enough to expose the rest of the wheels that were previously touching the ground. Put the car in gear or in park, engage the parking brake, and get out of the vehicle again. Now you can secure the chains squarely on the remaining wheel surfaces. Next, tighten the chains by using a closer link on the chains. Now you are ready to drive, but only for a little bit.

After you have driven 50 to feet, you must get out and re-tighten the chains, which will likely have some slack from evening out across the tires. Don't be alarmed by the bumpy ride. After all, you are driving with chains on your tires. For your practice run with the tire chains, you will likely be on a dry road, so limit the driving, but this is a good chance to get to know how they feel and how the car rides with the chains on. Taking the chains off is much easier, once you have disconnected the inside rings or chains.

This once again requires you to get right down to the lower inside of the wheel. However, once the inside ring or chain is disconnected, you can't simply pull the chains off. The chains will not disconnect on the bottom, where the tire is resting on the ground. Simply lay the chains to the side of the tires as flat as possible, making sure that they are not still around the wheel or axle of the vehicle. Then you will drive forward a few feet, enough to get the car's tires clear from the chains.

When putting the chains back in a bag or packaging, try to make sure they are not tangled together, and make sure they are dry. Mountain Driving The reason it is often good to have practice putting on chains and knowing what you are doing is the adverse conditions in which you may have to repeat the task. Chains are required on snowy, icy, or possibly slick mountain roads and passes, where rain, snow, sleet, and wind can be formidable.

This highlights the need for good gear to put your chains on. Don't depend on your ski wear or other clothing you plan on wearing much, unless you don't mind if it's wet, dirty, or both.

The best gear for putting on tire chains is heavy, waterproof wear, such as rain gear. Waterproof pants are important because you will have to kneel down to install and take off the chains.

Another good thing to have is gloves, but they should not be bulky ski gloves, and mittens won't do you any good under your car's wheel well. Garden gloves work well because they provide Repeat the same procedures as described above in "Dry Run" to get your chains installed.

Make sure you have enough space to work on all sides of the vehicle safely. Mountain passes typically have chain-up turnouts with signs to let you know when to put your chains on, and then take them off again. Follow the posted signs and requirements, and don't get caught without chains, as there can be fines in addition to the difficult driving you might face.

For more details and some helpful diagrams, check out the National Association of Chain Manufacturers' informative document, Tire Chain Specifications. In addition to, it also enables you to operate the car based on the instructions of automaker. That is regarded as the safest.
