Good evening,

There is no external fuel filter. It is part of the in tank fuel pump assembly.

For the 2003-2005 model years the fuel filter is incorporated into the fuel pump assembly within the fuel tank.

FUEL FILTER AND PUMP REPLACEMENT
1. Reduce the internal pressure of the fuel lines and hoses by completing the following operations.

- After removing the rear seat cushion, disconnect the fuel pump harness.
- Start the engine. Allow it to stop by itself, then turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal.

- Connect the fuel pump harness connector.

2. Remove the eye bolts while holding the fuel filter nuts securely.

CAUTION: Cover the fuel filter with a shop towel to avoid residual gasoline from splashing.

For the 2003-2005MY the fuel filter is incorporated into the fuel pump assembly within the fuel tank.
