Hi People, tomorrow morning I will begin installing my Zex kit for the HR . I just spent today planning and reading up on the entire Installation manual making sure I have everything and understand all the instructions before I begin.

Anyways one of the steps says to relieve the fuel pressure but doesn't specify how. So I figured I would just disconnect the fuel line from the fuel filter but I havent gone out to look under the car since it is dark out at the moment. Can anyone give me a general idea where the fuel filter is located on the Z? Much thanks

 

It's in the fuel tank.

 

Oh its a screen in the tank? crap.

My next question then is ;does anyone know the easiest way to relieve the fuel pressure?

 

easy, just pull the fuse for the fuel pump, it is in the fuse block located behind the battery, then start the engine until it dies and try to crank it again a couple of more times to make sure all fuel is is used up in the system

 

Thanks for the reply WestPak , I dont know if the cover for the fuse pack is different between the DE's and HR's but mines is an HR. I dont see anywhere on the cover where it says anything about fuel. I see the following on the cover :

1. Shift lock relay
2. horn relay
3. vdc
4. abs
5. abs
6. ign sw
7. horn
8. alt s
9. radio
10. seat heat er
11. a/t cont
12. tail
13. eng cont
14. bcm
15. folding roof
16. rad fan
17. rad fan

 

you are not looking at the right one, you have to take the surrounding cover/trim off to get to it, it is behind the battery by the firewall, you are looking at the one you can see by just removing the battery cover right in front of the battery

 

Oh okay much thanks, I'll have to wait till next week to get started though. I thought about taking that out to check if it really was back there but I didnt want to take all that stuff off without being sure.
