Hello,

The fuel filter is located under the car near the rear of the car. You will need to jack the car up safely here is a guide to help you with that.

This next guide will give you an idea of what you are in for when changing the fuel filter.

Hi,

Fuel filter is located under right, rear of vehicle, in front of axle.

There are 2 fuel pumps however, one inside tank.
