Could be a missfire? Is this only happening with 'hard' acceleration?

Brilliant Guide I must say.
Them clips are to get off the filter.
Also no need to jack up the car I did it with it on the ground easy enough to get to and saved lots of time.

I herd that removing the fuse to the fuel pump and then switching the ignition on will clear the petrol out of the filter and hoses and the pump wont let anymore petrol in and this will stop fuel coming out of the filter then you take it out ... has anyone tried this?

Hi,
I'm sorry to come on here as a newbie and ask for help straight away, but we have just done a major service on my daughters 03 plate saxo desire. I doing this we changed the fuel filter, and needless to say the old strap broke.
I have managed to get a new one from Citroen (had to buy 4 to get 1!!), but my question is, do you have to drop the tank on that side to get the upper part of the strap in?.
We have tried for 20 minutes to feed it in, but I just cant get my big sausage fingers in to press it into the tank. Is there a particular trick to this or is it the pain it looks?.
At the moment, I have temporaily cable tied it up to the brake lines, but I don't like the idea of this as a longlasting repair in case it chafes through the brake line.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Phil
