On Accent and Elantra, remove rear seat bottom cushion and fuel tank sender access cover. Remove fuel tank filler cap to release fuel tank pressure. Remove ground connector and fuel lines from filter. Remove fuel filter. To install, reverse removal procedure. Pressure test fuel system, check for leaks.

On all models except Sonata and Tiburon, a second fuel filter is part of fuel tank sender and is located inside fuel tank. For removal procedure, see FUEL PUMP article.

location of fuel filter i have followed the fuel line from the tank to the injector rail, my question is were is the location of the fuel filter or is it located in the tank

Yes your fuel filter is located inside your tank. I don't know if you've bought the new one but they are more expensive than traditional gasoline filters. Considered long life, they have over twice the filtering capability from external styles and are usually replaced every 100k miles.

You should be able to find an access hold under the rear seat.

Good luck,

Remove rear seat, there is an access panel for the fuel filter. Remove access panel and have access to fuel filter.
