Figured it wouldn't hurt to change my 20 year old fuel filter and hoses.
Replaced it with a K&N filter.
Removed the gas cap and fuel pump fuse located in the driver side foot well on a s14. Started the car until it died. Cut off the the top hose, cut a new hose to length. Cut the bottom hose off, and had fuel continuously spill out all over the engine bay and driveway despite my collection of rags. Real messy. Cut that hose to length as well, put the new hose and filter back in place. tightened the clamps down.
Haven't driven the car yet since I'm waiting for the fuel to evaporate completely. Wasn't too sure on the best way to get rid of the fuel in that tight area. I nuked it all with brake cleaner since that's what I had on hand. Figuring that if I wait a few hours it will have all evaporated. I will update later on any changes I notice while driving. Not really expecting much to happen though.
