One of the basic maintenance projects that you should perform on your Porsche 996 is the replacement of the fuel filter. Starting in 2002, Porsche moved the filter to inside the gas tank and called it a “lifetime” filter that never needs to be changed. For cars with a replaceable filter, we recommend that you replace your fuel filter about once a year or every 10,000 miles.

This is a relatively simple project but in a well-ventilated work space it’ll be a snap!
