Where is the fuel filter located and is this something that can be done at home, or does it need to be done at a shop? What is the cost to have this done?

I read on your website that the fuel filter on a 2003 MPV is located -- under the hood, passenger side, lower engine area, mounted on wheel well in fuel line. Is this also true for a 2002 MPV or is it located elsewhere?

I honestly don't know why it's conflicting with his but as you can see from my information it's say's it's from with your year make and model directly from the website that all the moderator's use to get information to answer question's.

I also emailed you that information so hopefully you can see that it is your year make and model that i pulled information for.I will check into that though why my information conflict's his.I will also email you the information for the location of the 2003 mpv fuel filter from the same site we use so you can see for yourself.

I did not forget about you i just spoke with the other moderator that posted the answer where the 2003 mpv fuel filter was.He said he was wrong and probably looked up the wrong car he say's he is sorry for the miss understanding and confusion.He said i was correct in the location of in the fuel tank.So that clears up the conflict of advise.Thanks again for the donation and thank you for using 2carpros.

1. there is no fuel filter to change ( ay least not one outside the tank)

2. The hook up for the obd II scanner is beside the hood release handle
