    Fig. Fuel filter mounting location and component identification
The fuel strainer attaches to the lower end of the fuel pump module. The fuel strainer is made of woven plastic. The functions of the fuel strainer are to filter contaminants and to wick fuel. The fuel strainer normally requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage at this point indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal amount of sediment or contamination.

Hope help with this (remember rated and comment this help)..

Is there an inline fuel filter on a 2010 Chevy Malibu 2.4L and if so where is it located?

Sorry I am not sure about 2010 but on CHEVY the ones I have change over the last few years. They were around the gas tank axle area (One was above the vacuum canister near the gas tank.) or under the car on the drivers side attached to the frame between tank and engine compartment.
You might check with a auto parts store and ask for a exact match fuel filter for you car. They may tell you the only one you have is part of the fuel pump.
From my understanding a lot of cars now days just have a fuel filter as part of the fuel pump in the gas tank..
03 I think has been the latest model I have changed a inline filter on. I hope this helps if not sorry for any confusion.

2004 Chevrolet Malibu mix v6 LS engine turns but will not start

Check for fuel, spark, and then compression. Fuel problems can be pump, pump relay, fuse, filter, line, etc. Spark problems can be distributor module, distributor, coil packs, power to distributor or coil packs, plug wires. Compression problems would be piston rings, piston walls, piston rods.

Where is the location of the Fuel Filter on the 05 Chevy malibu LS

look in between the rear axle and the fuel tank right above the charcoal canister. It is usually easier to replace with the charcoal canister moved out of the way. You will need a 16mm and 20mm wrench to replace. Preferably a flair nut wrench for the 16mm.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

2005 chevy malibu won't start

You will need to Check the Fuel Pump and Relays, and also Change the Fuel Filter. There is a Fuse Relay Box under the Hood that has the Fuel Pump Relay in it.
