What tools do i need to change the fule filter and where is the filter located at on the car?

take the connection of the pump
loosen any filter connections slowly and allow the pressure to drop , replace the filter and reconnect the pump

if it is an external filter you might need a special tool which can be purchased at autozone craftsman snap on it will have multiple colors in the set. but you use that tool to disconnect one side and the other side might be a bolt and you can use a philips screw driver to release the bracket it holds on to.

The fule filter is located in the engin compartment. Remove the air filter, and the compartment that houses it. Looking towards the fire-wall, and slightly down. The fule filter is located in the lower left. I suggest you purchase the fule filter first and this will help you find it.
Use A LINE WRENCH too remove the bottom gas line. The top bolt can be removed with a scocked( all of these are Metric) The bottom one is a ******!!!

Goo lunk

beside tank. Be careful, sometimes it helps to lower tank slightly. Special tools are needed, and if you break the top of the tank fitting, you will need a fuel pump.

May be near the tank if it's external OR inside the fuel tank.

The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and is accessible once the rear seat cushion is removed and, the filter is located Under vehicle, driver side, below seating area, driver side of fuel tank, mounted on frame in fuel line.

Please rate and have a great day:)

It's under the back seat up in the frameon the drivers side

The fule filter is up inside the frame on the drivers side. You will need to get special tools to get it off. Since it is a high pressure system you CANNOT cut it out and replace it. Must get the special tools.

if it is the 1500 you will need a spec. tool to disconect fitting (j46363) it is under the body just fallow the fuel lines, there will be a bracket with a fuel composition sensor with a wiring loom with 3 encased wires by your driveshaft, you will have to remove those nuts and posision the sensor aside to get to the fuel filter, from the picture on mitchelondemand it looks to be next to the suspension bar going through the chassie, if this helped alot throw me some blue ; ) take care any other quesions let me know
