I am wondering the process to replace the in tank fuel filter on a 2006 CH 2.4 Lancer. Can has done 160k and not sure if previous owners have had this replaced at the scheduled 105k mark. Thanks.
 
If you don't have receipt and is not marked in log book then chances are no, it should be same procedure as doing a wagon i guess, part no# same for both CH 2lt & 2.4lt (is MR552781) . I used orig mitsubishi for my wagon in 2015, changed at 135,000 klms, i paid $104 trade, current mitsubishi price is $215, on ebay from about $30 to $90, Mit parts warehouse sell oem ones still for $76 US plus shipping.

As far as procedure, disconnect battery, then remove back seat, do it outside garage, open all the doors, disconnect and block/seal your lines after removal, disconnect wiring plugs, Needless to say no naked flames or ign sources anywhere near the car at all (including mobile phones). Just undo screws/hex head (10mm i think) and slowly remove assembly trying not to damage seal gasket, remove existing fuel pump if looks good and still functions well, then reuse it, you will see how pump assembly comes out/goes in on removal of old filter, I think i used a plastic dinner plate to cover opening in tank to make me feel a little bit safer, try and do it say with at least 1/2 tank, the fumes are what is dangerous, the amount of fuel just means a bigger bang! Just remember no naked flames anywhere near the car, once completed go a a drive over a few bumps(this is where the more fuel comes in handy) check if all working ok and no leaks/seepage, double check connections and refit seat.
Don't think i have forgotten anything, if so guys jump in!
 
Thanks wagonmaster. I have found a Sakura SF - 10510 filter that has 1 outlet on the top which I believe is the correct one for my car. Can get one through Supercheap for $50. Are these OK or should I go genuine?
 
Good question, I don’t know anything about that brand, apparently they are manufactured to Oem standard in Indonesia, they are decent size company.
Maybe someone else on the forum that has used them before can chip in and answer your question
 
Oh yes sorry nearly forgot to mention its prob best to replace these two things as well while you are at it, when you do the filter.

I have a 2007 4g69 velocity. I also want to change fuel filter. According to Mitsubishi parts I need the MN 135454 (2007 model), not the MR552781 (before 2007). Does anyone know a replacement filter for that OEM part number?
 
Hi, I purchased the Sakura SF - 10510 fuel filter for my daughters 2006 2.4 Lancer sedan from Supercheap auto for $56 inc delivery (Supercheap part no SP03973142). The part was identical to the original filter on the car when new (Denso) and only took 20 minutes to change over.
