Warning: Before carrying out the following operation, refer to the precautions given in "Safety first!" at the beginning of this manual, and follow them implicitly. Petrol is a highly-dangerous and volatile liquid, and the precautions necessary when handling it cannot be overstressed.
1. The fuel filter is situated underneath the rear of the vehicle, adjacent to the fuel tank. To gain access to the filter, chock the front wheels, then jack up the rear of the vehicle and support it on axle stands (see "Jacking and vehicle support").
2. Seal off the fuel hoses leading to and from the filter, using proprietary hose clamps, with rounded jaws - do not use G-clamps, Mole Grips or similar with flat or square jaws as these could damage the hose internally, causing leakage later.
3. Unclip the filter retaining strap from the lefthand side of the fuel tank (see illustration).
10.3. Release the fuel filter strap from the tank...
4. Noting the direction of the arrow marked on the filter body, release the retaining clips or quick-release fittings and disconnect the fuel hoses from the filter (see illustration). Where the original Peugeot crimped-type clips are still fitted, cut and discard them; replace them with standard worm-drive hose clips on installation.
10.4. ... then detach the hoses and remove the filter. Note the direction of the arrow on the filter body (arrowed)
5. Remove the filter from the vehicle. Dispose safely of the old filter; it will be highly inflammable, and may explode if thrown on a fire.
6. Slide the new filter into position, ensuring that the arrow on the filter body is pointing in the direction of the fuel flow, as noted when removing the old filter. The flow direction can otherwise be determined by tracing the fuel hoses back along their length.
7. Connect the fuel hoses to the filter, securing them in position with their retaining clips (where applicable). Where quick-release hose unions are fitted, press each hose onto its respective filter port until it "snaps" into position.

8. Clip the filter strap back onto the fuel tank then lower the vehicle to the ground.
9. Start the engine and check the filter hose connections for leaks.
