Fuel filter (Renault Espace I and II, 1984-1996)

The fuel filter needs to be changed every 50,000 km. On earlier models, the filter is mounted next to the fuel pump on the right stringer in front of the fuel tank, as shown in illustrations 9.2. On later models, it is mounted on the left longitudinal beam, at the height of the front seat, as shown in illustration 11.1. The filter on V6 models is installed next to the fuel pump (see illustration 11.1 on the left). The filter is attached with a clamping bracket.

11.1 Fuel filter (1) may have the following location. On the left is a V6 model, on the right is a 4-cylinder model. Loosen the nut to remove the filter (2)

To replace the filter, the vehicle must be supported on axle stands. Clamp the hoses connected to the filter with special clamps before disconnecting them. First remove the hoses from the connections and only then remove the clamps. The clamps must remain.

Loosen the clamp nut and remove the filter. Install in reverse order. Install the filter as indicated by the arrow. Connect the rods, put on the collars and remove the clamps.
