E30 Zone

I bought my E30 not only because I love the looks, but I wanted a car to fiddle with and work on myself. I've had it a year now and want to give it a service. I've bought all the oil, air, fuel filters, big can of oil and spark plugs for a basic service. I've changed the air filter already, that was nice and easy. Plugs and oil I feel pretty confident about. Fuel filter less so. What is the best way not to get covered in petrol?

Any tips and other things I should replace while I'm at it?

What engine and year is the car? miles?

For the fuel filter you have to start the car up first and remove fuse 11 with the engine running. After a few seconds the engine will stall. remove the fuel tank cap and then the fuel system will be out of pressure. get a catch pan because some fuel will spill out of the filter. remove the clamps and hoses from the old filter and get the new one in. This is how i did it without any problems. good luck
