This side was very difficult to clean as it was not easily accessible and also mitti ka teel was finished, so I got remaining fuel from my bike into the bottle filled up and cleaned it, it was where the stupid cloth was lying lol

By the way, another thing i noticed is that the plate for placing battery is quite huge in this car.. given its original... and I was feeling uneasy with having a feeling that have i got a small battery on top of it ???? My current battery is of 85 Amp Excide.... next time i will change to 100 Amp....

look there is extra space right there....

This was the result of whole cleaning exercise of filter housing......

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:06:19 +0500 #44

and here was the fruit of that exercise.... clean housing parts.....

and here it is I am so happy for this result.... I cleaned it for 20 minutes straight and my hands were aching at the end of cleaning this.....

Now fitting the housing back and intending to install the new filter....

My new original filter (though I still have to get another original one from saqib bhai and I will be waiting for that )

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:13:37 +0500 #48

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:17:09 +0500 #49

Since I had no idea of how to replace the fuel filter and i also wanted to see the procedure and was also confused by how the air is bleeded through it... I went to a friend of mine who is an electrician-***-mechanic whom I have learned a lot to get the fuel filter replaced.

Meanwhile, I disconnected the main hose of radiator and spilled out some of the present coolant from the system and filled it in with the radiator flush from Liqui Moly, sorry could not take pics, because both my hands were busy

Car at my friend's place... (workshop)

I found out that replacing fuel filter is a simple thing, but you should be able to detach it with its housing without damaging it, i'll explain later....

Started opening fuel filter

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:24:34 +0500 #52

Both main screws are out....

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:26:16 +0500 #53

There are two pipes, one coming from the fuel tank and the other one going to engine I guess..... quite simple... bus dekhney mein hi complex sa lagta hey...

opening one of the pipes...

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:28:14 +0500 #54

Okay, after removing both pipes, you have to remove the grip attached in the bottom of the filter housing... it gives light if the filter gets choked or filled with water i guess ...

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:30:53 +0500 #55

and here is the filter itself.... out from its housing and now "dead" lol and going to graveyard.....

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:32:49 +0500 #56

Okay, here is the tricky part, which I was referring to above.

You have to open two housing parts from the filter itself, one from top and one from bottom. The top one is of metal, so no worries, but the bottom one is of plastic and you have to carefully remove it with wrench...... have a look ...

He tried to open it, but it was also jammed like the screws in the air filter housing. It seems that these things have never been changed lol :P.... The filter present in the car was also a genuine filter....

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:35:55 +0500 #58

as it was not easy to open it with wrench and after trying to open the bottom part and meeting a failure in first two tries, he resorted to open the upper portion i.e. metal one first.... as it was too big for the wrench, he tried to open it with hands......

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:38:45 +0500 #59

lol after failing again from opening it with hand, he resorted to call his buddy here with a filter plier (the one used to get out filters, sorry don't know its name as well). His buddy put plier across the bottom part of the filter where there were marks like a bolt head on the filter (company might have known that it would get stuck hard and so they made the marks i think for this procedure lol ) and holding the upper part of the filter with hands... his buddy tried to move it anticlockwise.....

star2 (star2) 2013-03-02 15:40:19 +0500 #60

his buddy tried so hard, the plier slipped and i captured
