Wow... Thats nuts. On that ZJ that they were doing a fuel filter change on it....I thought the fuel filters on those things are along the fuel line. To me, it looks like they marked the #4 on the fuel pump....???

No - that model jeep has an in tank fuel filter - it sits on top of the fuel pump
on the tank - so to change it you have to pull the tank down and pull that round
thing - marked with the four (4) off. Since most people don't know where it is
let alone how to change it - it is always a high scam item - I'd mark mine -
like they did - and ask to see the used filter when they were done.

Jiffy screwed me with my diesl truck - they swore they were putting diesel rated oil
in during a change - but I caught them putting in gas engine oil - nocked a 100K off
my truck engine... They did this for about nine months and six oil changes.

Sometimes I wonder if they even do anything at those places. For all I know, they could just be pretending to work but not really doing much beyond putting new oil in my car, which I could handle just fine. Plus, they tend to overcharge like crazy.

I use the change service that I trust but I give them the oil and the filter I want in the truck - then I watch them put it in - Lucas also.
