Default fuel filter
i changed my fuel filter today (car was sitting for 2 days) and when i went to replace it there wasnt as much gas as the last time that came out. maybe 2-3 pints.

what would cause the less amount? last time it kept coming out.

man thats normal dont worry bout that kinda stuff! there was less pressure in the tank because there is less heat! thus there was lower vacum in the gas tank!

You aren't supposed to hear a whoosh noise because you are supposed to relieve the pressure from the fuel system before changing it.
