[Filters & Oil] Berlingo B9 petrol fuel filter location help!?
#1
Hi all, first time posting, long time lurker.
I bought myself a berlingo b9 '58 reg petrol MPV and am currently converting it into a micro camper. I'm trying to be more hands on with the engines and services and have changed filters, oils, spark plugs plus plenty of interior ripping out and refitting. But I've come to change the fuel filter and can not find the thing!

I've bought the part from euro car parts, looked in both Haynes books (the 1996 to 2010 petrol and diesel and 2008 to 2016 diesel) and neither locations mentioned are where the fuel filter is. (Why is there no b9 petrol Haynes manual anyway!?)

Just wondering if anybody has any idea and can help me out!? Thanks in advance.

Well, on the older models it's located under the car, on the righthand side, just in front of the rear wheel.

Thanks for your replies. Been under just now and still unknown! I've a few pictures of under there if they'll help in identifying where it is.
One is on top of the fuel tank. The others are taken from the rear pointing towards the front. Pretty difficult getting a photo! I've followed the fuel lines and they do disappear behind the front right wheel so I'll just be taking the wheel arch plastic off and hopefully have some luck there! Does look like it's been taken off before too.

Hey, I realise it's been a while ? (tbf it's been over a decade since I was last on here ?)
I hope you got yourself sorted SK, I'd love to read about your camper conversion. I've seen, and can understand why these would be good for that, but at 6'2 I doubt there's enough length in the back for me?

Anyway, separate issue, I'm looking at this myself, and just wanting some reassurance as I've not been very hands on in a good while, you might say I'm almost as rusty as the car ?
Find attached a photo I took of what I believe to be the (petrol) fuel filter. (Under the driver side rear passengers feet, just bellow the fuel filler cap).
But I'm struggling to identify how the connectors 'fit'. Are they really just push on and pull off? No tightening? And is it really just "wiggle" the old one off and "wiggle" the new one in? Again nothing to tighten to secure it in place?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Those pipe unions have a small square section which needs to be pressed in, this will enable the fitting to be pulled off. To refit just push back onto filter.
