hello. it should be located under your car on a line that's coming off your fuel tank and yes you can do this your self very easy to do ,you'll need a few box/open ended wrenches that's it you'll need to check the fitting or the nut on each side of the filter to see what the sizes are,befor removing the filter you'll want to take off your gas cap and remove your neg battery cable ,not when you find the filter it'll have nut on each side all you have to do it loosen them but make sure that you don't break the fuel line or kink it and after you have both sides loose then just finish turning them off and there you go the filter is off, nope no removing the gas tank some newer models you do and the filter is attached to your fuel pump and don't need replaced but for your car and year you wont need to remove the tank. good luck

Rear of the vehicle by the fuel tank...by the frame rail:



Disconnect the fuel feed pipe (1) at the in-line fuel filter and return pipe (2) near the in-line fuel filter



Squeeze the plastic tabs of male end connector of fuel filter

Hi,
The fuel filter is located along the left hand frame rail, looking from the front of the vehicle.
Thanks
