Change Fuel Filter on Mini

The filter is under the back seat.

You must first remove the lower part of the bench seat

by pulling the bench seat upwards by positioning one hand on the left and one on the right. (where the fasteners are located in the green photo)

Now you need to remove the black cover on the passenger side.

For this you need a 10 key to remove the 5 nuts

and then completely remove the black cover

we visualize the block which contains the filter

I recommend cleaning before continuing so as not to put dust inside the tank.

Finally, we can remove the blue hose that arrives on top of the block, we simply have to press on the green clips

Remove the metal cup so that you can remove the filter block

You just have to unscrew it (counterclockwise)

I recommend using a hammer and chisel

Once removed, the filter block (white) can be removed by pulling upwards

Open the block to change the filter

you just have to make a quarter turn to the left

the top comes off and you have access to the filter

You have the new fuel filter in your hands, it just needs changing, and it needs it.

Don't forget to change the gaskets

one on the top of the filter (in the cap)

one on the bottom of the filter (in the jar)

one on the filter block cap

and the last one around the filter block which will reposition itself by putting it in the tank

All that remains is to reassemble the assembly: close the filter block (quarter turn to the right), put it back in the tank and put the metal cup back, and finally the hose on the block then the black metal cover. Without forgetting the bench :)
