Would like how to replace the fuel filter.Do i have to remove the rear wheel to access it.The maintenance schedule says to replace it every 50000 kilometres and how has the filter replaced.

The fuel tank filter is in the driverside rear wheel well. Remove the wheel and the wheel well skirt. You will see a small black filter with a single hose to it on fuel filler neck.. Good luck

is it normal it has to be replaced every 50000 kilometers.thank you for the info,

Well it is recomended that you replace it at that mileage, It really is not a critical part thou and if your not having issues it doesnt have to be replaced,, Its considered PREVENTIVE maintenance. It only filters the fresh air going to the charcoal canistor for the evaporative emisions system, I have seen in the past where spiders will spin webs inside the filters and they get clogged.The symptom of a clogged filter would be noticed while filling vehicle with fuel the pump would keep stopping and vehicle would not take fuel properly..

Thank you very much mr tech your answer is very well apreciated.
Have a good day

I have to change my fuel filter but I can't find it. I looked it up in the library and it said it was underneath car by fuel tank but I couldn't find it. Can you please direct me in the right direction.
Thank you

Hi dan/cila and welcome to 2carpros

Remove the rear seat cushion and the access panel. Relieve the fuel system pressure by disconnecting the fuel pump module connector, then starting the engine and letting it run until it stalls. Turn the ignition off.

Step2 Disconnect the negative battery cable. Then, attach the fuel pump harness connector. Locate the fuel filter underneath the Sonata near the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel supply and pressure lines. Remove the fuel filter bracket if your model has one, and then remove the fuel filter.

Step3 Install the new fuel filter and torque the mounting bolts to 18 to 25 ft-lbs. Replace the fuel filter bracket, if applicable, and then reattach the fuel supply and fuel pressure lines.

Step4 Reattach the negative battery cable. Start the engine of your Hyundai Sonata, check for leaks, and fix any you find.

2002 hyandia sonata 2.7 i changed tps because the car would not idle however now when u step on the gas and pit motor under pressure like a hill it back fires through the exhaust but it idles fine and i cant find the fuel filter

The fuel filter is on the driver side of fuel tank, mounted on frame in fuel line. As far as the engine, check for vacuum leaks, check to make sure the catalytic converter isn't plugged and check fuel pump pressure. Also, the idle issue may be the IAC, idle air control valve.

when my sonata's fuel gets below 1/3 tank and I make a sharp right hand turn it starts to miss but the engine light does not come on. Also lately when you turn the switch to start the car it cranks probaly 2 seconds before it starts. I can not find fuel filter. Could it be the fuel pump.

The filter is on the driver's side near the fuel tank. It is mounted on the floor boards under the vehicle. It may be plugged or your fuel gauge may be off. If the car runs good at other times, I would say the pump is good.

On my 2001 model, its under the vehicle. Driver's side rear door, not too far from the outside of the body. Once I found it, it wasn't too hard to replace.

I see the same question asked about a 2002 but no answer. I would appreciate you helping me locate the fuel filter for my 2000 Sonata. Is there a specific procedure to follow for replacing the filter? Also I have purchased a replacement filter and it has two small metal washers with it, where are they installed?

Special procedures: You must relieve the fuel pressure.

2.4L disconnect the fuel pump harness in the trunk

2.5L disconnect the fuel pump harness under the rear seat

Then start vehicle till it stalls -now the pressure is relieved turn key off.

The fuel filter if its not near the fuel pump then its under the brake master cylinder up against the firewall.

The washer is the new seal when you disconnect the fuel filter

Thanks for the speedy reply, the filter isn't up front under master cylinder, I checked there first.

My references Mitchell1 Ondemand says if its not upfront its near the fuel pump-near the fuel pump can be a touchy subject inside or out-best bet is to investigate where back there.

Didn't mentioned whether its underneath along with the fuel lines. In todays vehicle they normally located inside the fuel tank with the fuel pump.

I found it, it was along the fuel line fastened to the under body in front of the rear left wheel, under the rear left door. The pump wiring harness was accessable in the trunk where the back seat folds down. I didn't have much luck loosening the filter from the line. I wound up kinking the line and causing a leak. I now have a bigger problem and intend to drop the car off at a repair shop to repair the line. Thanks for your time and advise just the same.

Where is the fuel filter located and how is it changed?

Under the vehicle at the left front corner of the fuel tank.

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT 1.Reduce the internal pressure of the fuel lines and hoses and perform the following operations. *Disconnect the fuel pump harness connector in the trunk room. *Start the engine and, after it stops, turn the ignition switch to OFF . *Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal. *Connect the fuel pump harness connector. 2.Remove the two fitting nuts while holding the fuel filter nuts securely. 3.Remove the fuel filter mounting bolts, and then remove the fuel filter from the fuel filter clamp. Tightening torque Fuel filter fining nut 25 - 35 Nm (250 - 350 kg.cm, 18 - 25 lb.ft)

I find it easier to just buy a few short lengths of double ended line to replace the line I know is going to break before I mess with it.cost a few more $ but drasticly cuts your work time & you don't have to deal with rusty crap

everytime i try to pump gas it only will allow a lil n at a time it spits out. what couild this be? and my rpms go up high before it switches gears. the check engione light isnt on, but the codes that were pullked were P0122 Throttle position sensor bank A low circuit P0340 cam shaft position sensor and P0302 cylinder #2 misfire. which 1 is the most important to fix?

the reason your gas is not allowing you to fill up is the vent control valve. it is stuck closed.

replace the vent valve.

I would address the 302 miss fire code. it sounds like you need a tune up

Roy

where is the vent control valve located or how do u get to it?

The vent valve is located on the fuel tank. It works like a 2 way valve. Its supposed to allow fuel in and not let fuel out.

How do i get to the vent valve? Lile where the gas cap is? Or n the trunk where the fuel pump is?

You need to drop the gas tank in order to remove and replace the vent valve.

Im sorry man.... is that something i can do? Like is it underneath the car? & what tools do i need,

I wouldn't recommend performing any work with fuel if you're not sure what you're doing. Fuel vapors are highly flammable and can cause serious injury if not using the proper precautions. I would take it to a pro to perform. It is a little labor intensive if you do try to do it yourself especially if you only own a jack and some jack stands. The exhaust needs to be removed, they're should be an access panel either under your seat or in the trunk area right behind the seat under the mat to disconnect the fuel lines. Make sure to bleed down the fuel pressure before disconnecting any lines and then disconnect the vehicle battery to eliminate any possible electrical charge that may cause a spark around the fuel tank. There will be 2 gas tank straps that need to be removed but before removing them completely, you need to support the gas tank or it will fall and break off the fuel lines that need to be disconnected. I would strongly suggest doing this all with at least 2 people if you do it yourself.

Thank you. . Im sorry but if i am trying to replace my spark plugs can i use a regular 3/8 in socket if i dont have 1 with rubber n it.... & if replace the throttle position sensor (1 located on the back of the throttle body ) do i just take the 2 bolts off & unclip it & put it on the same way?

I don't recommend using anything other than an actual spark plug socket to remove spark plugs because the socket centers the the spark plug when you are applying pressure to remove it or install it. Its also used to hold the spark plug onto the socket when you're putting the new spark plug into the tube without damaging the ceramic. I would pick one up at a local parts store. It shouldn't be more than $10 for a store brand one. Also make sure that you are using NGK spark plugs and wires. Hyundais operate best when used OEM equipment and prevents premature failure and proper operation. I just worked on a vehicle today that had a misfire and the customer replaced the wires and the spark plugs with brand new aftermarket ones. The brand was Autolite. After he replaced them, he still had a cylinder 1 misfire and brought it to the dealership. I removed the spark plugs and wires and found that the brand new wires had already started arcing causing a major misfire and the spark plug was covered in raw fuel from improper combustion. Not trying to scare you, but for some reason, Hyundai vehicles are very sensitive when it comes to using aftermarket parts. As for the throttle position sensor, it should be as easy as removing the old screws and installing the new sensor in the reverse order you removed the old one. While you're in that area, I would also take the time to clean the inside of the throttle body including the throttle plate and where the throttle plate sits. This will insure proper throttle response.

Where is the fuel filter located? Is the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank? Is there an access panel inside the car to remove the fuel pump without dropping the fuel tank? (The car has been sitting in the car port roughly 8 years. I put a new battery in it, it turns over well. The fuel tank was empty, added some gas to it, the oil level is fine, I know the oil needs to be changed and the engine flushed, transmission level is fine and it needs changing, this afternoon was the first time I tinkered with it. I work out of state, some times out country and no, this isn't my ride. What would you guy's do, to try and get the engine started?)

Fuel filter is under the hood. Fuel pump is in the tank and the tank has to be dropped for access to pump.

After replacing all fluids, before you pull the fuel tank down, Check for spark and check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Should have about 46-49 psi at the rail.

okay, i can tell something is causing some power loss in the car riding uphill and it shut off twice while driving. used some injector cleaner and it helped. where would the fuel filter be on the car listed above, and is there a universal replacement i can buy that cost less than the dealership?
