They sure will, Just sent my brother back home to Tennessee from Oklahoma in a 96 Bright Fire engine red 12v{{I found it for him here localy, but was sure sad to see it go, as I luv Fire Engine Red being retired from Fire Dept.}} Anyway we serviced everything but the fuel filter as he did not want to, well halfway back it wouldn't go over 70mph. He made it to Nashville where he lives,calls me and I told him change out the fuel filter and carry a spare. Well he decides to take it to local dealer, they tell him not the filter but the elect. lift pump, I wished guys would not refer to the second gen 12v's as lift pumps (they are Manual}}, I told him to leave the dealer and change out the filter and walla!! All is well. I thought everyone carried a spare??? If not do so. Goodluck,,Rick
