Thread: Weird sound after fuel filter change

Today I changed the fuel filter in my SE-R. Anyway after the change I start the car up and I hear a hissing sound. Scared as fuck I turn the car off thinking there was a fuel leak, I check it out and I find nothing wrong. So I turn it back on and it does it again this time though I let it run. About 3 seconds later the sound goes away and hasn't came back. I can't remember this happening when I changed the fuel filter 2 years ago. Was that normal? This new filter is a OEM Nissan filter for a Z32, old filter was an autozone filter, small one.

Probably the sound of the fuel filter priming, remember it was empty before turning the key on.

Ah yes. That makes sense. :o
