Speaking of fuel filters, what's the replacement interval these days? I'm at ~80K since the last change...

I thought it was every 30,000 miles, thats what I think my Jeep's Rebuild Service Manual says, could be every 60,000 miles, or every 15,000. Its one of those three though.

The 95' Jeep grand cherokee has a serviceable fuel filter, thats located outside of the fuel tank. Its about a foot from the fuel tank, in front of the rear axel, although some are located near the engine (easier access if its in the engine bay).

When I replaced mine... it was soo clogged with gunk that when you put in clean fuel on one side, black fuel came out the other side...

On a 98' Teggy, I wouldn't know, but it was more common back in the 90's to have serviceable fuel filters. Now most of them are in the tanks, and when it gets clogged get ready to pull out your wallet, cause it's gonna be expensive.

Red- Did you say most fuel tanks are plastic? Mines definitely metal, as well as the one on my moms Caliber. I've never seen a plastic one before...
