Is there a thread here that describes changing the fuel filter on the 96 850 GLT? From reading several hours on this site, it seems everyone knows how to do this but me. Thanks

It is fairly straightforward. Remove the band that holds the filter and then release the quick connect clips. The quick connect clips are a strange design but you can use a 17mm open end wrench to release them. Relieve the fuel pressure with the schrader valve on the end of the fuel rail before you even start.

Again, thank you, Lee. I replaced the the fuel filter this afternoon. Unfortunately, the malady was not resolved. Mark
