2004 V6 Sonata--Fuel Filter Removal/Install Question

I'm interested in why you'd change this Ed. Most cars today will show early signs of a fuel filter clogging. There will be reduced performance due to the lowered delivery pressure. Absent that I just wondered why not wait until it begins to show early warning signs? Just like to stay ahead of these things?

I believe you're correct Ed. If you're handy with a screwdriver and ratchet, you should be able to do this. I usually pull the line off at the pump carefully and gradually to let the pressure bleed off.

You're probably right, though I've noticed a slight hesitation under heavy acceleration. I figured at most I'll be out a few bucks and it's one less thing to do at 60K.

There's a reprogram available to correct an intermittent hesitation on this car. Unfortunately, the TSB gives no description of the circumstances under which the hesitation occurs.
