We cannot locate the fuel filter for this vehicle. Car won't start and when we took the line off the fuel rail it barely spits out any gas.

Hi,

The fuel filter is located on the top of the fuel tank and attached to the fuel pump module. The filter and fuel pressure regulator are a single unit. The filter is integral to the regulator.

If you look below, I attached the directions for replacing it. However, to access it, the fuel tank needs to be removed. If you do remove the tank, I would also recommend replacing the pump itself.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
