Fuel filter should be located on the drivers' side rear. However the manufacturer requires you to purchase the pressure regulator/filter as one unit from the dealer.

There are only 3 possible locations for fuel filters on these cars. 1. located on passenger side firewall/wheelwell, 2. in-line underneath car, just follow the fuel line. 3. IN THE TANK. which will have to be pulled to get to.

Most late model cars have the filter attached to the pump inside the gas tank. Japanese auto makers love doing this stuff. It depends on the manufacturer as to whether or not it is replacable. If it is, all you have to do is remove the sock and throw a new one on there.

Remove the back seat,,there should be a "trap door" in there-in the top of the gas tank... disconnect the battery first, then remove the fuel pump..

207cc 1.6 Gt Fuel Filter location

What do want to change the fuel filter for they never need changing here in europe as the fuel delivery pumps in the fuel stations have micronic filters inside the pumps ,europeon law so it shouldnt need changing unless it corrodes away that is if its a metal casing .Their is a gauze filter on the fuel pump inside the tank but if this motror runs ok leave well alone and stop playing around trying to a boy racer sunday mechanic job ,change the oil every 5/6000 miles with a oil filter every third oil change and use the cheapest diesel/petrol engine oil you buy ,gap the plugs every other oil change and it will run like a dream ,stick to putting a boom boom box in and stick go faster stripe and leave it alone

My 1999 Saturn SL2 started theother day but a few

This is probably a faulty fuel pressure regulator. You can rent a tool at most auto part stores that connects to the fuel rail to show you the pressure level. If it is low (less than @40 PSI) or if it fluctuates very much, replace the regulator. It is also a good idea to replace the fuel filter, as it can clog and prevent adequate fuel supply from reaching the engine. You may want to replace the filter first, as it is usually cheaper.

Fuel filter

the fuel filter should be located on the inside of left frame rail about middle of truck. you will need 5/8" wrench for line nuts and adjustable to hold filter. and i think 13mm to remove bracket. take off fuel cap when changing filter.
