Due to the condition that my filter was in when I replaced I’d say it’s definitely not a lifetime filter. Supposedly it’s recommended to replace them every 80-100,000km

Thanks for the replies guys. I found the issue and it turned out to be the negative terminal within the connector that connects to the fuel pump itself. Found another one in my tool box and crimped it on there and now running all good.

Thanks for the reply but I don’t think it’s an o’ring. I got new o’rings with the pump and the pressure regulator. After I replaced the filter it started and ran like normal then idles rough and died. After that I could start it up and it would die again straight away. After pulling the filter back out to re inspect it the car now won’t start up at all. It just cranks. Is it possible for the car to not start after running empty even when filling back up with fuel? Is 10L enough to cover the fuel pump to get it started or should I try put more fuel in there?

My car was starting and running fine thismorning. I parked it in the drive way to replace the in-tank fuel filter on it. I dropped the tank and replaced the filter, put everything back together and started the car. It took a little bit to start but was running fine for a few seconds and then died again. The fuel Gauge said just about empty so I put 10L petrol in it and still not starting. I pulled the filter back out and everything was connected fine I didn’t miss anything. I replaced the fuel pump and pressure regulator as they were rusty just to be sure. Car still not starting. I noticed one of the charcoal canister lines had a crack in the rubber connection to the charcoal canister itself and taped it up but don’t think that’s the cause of the issue as it’s been running like that before and only noticed when doing the fuel filter. Please Help!!
