Hi, the filter is clamped in a fixture mounted to the frame. See picture and instructions below, and let me know if you have any questions.

Except 5.3L Flexible Fuel Engine (L59)


NOTE On 2005-06 gasoline engines except 5.3L Flex Fuel the fuel filter is integral with the fuel pump/sender assembly in the fuel tank.

  1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
  4. Raise the vehicle.

Do you have a picture of a 2002 gmc yukon fuel filter?

This particular filter is just an example of the fuel filter for an '02 GMC Yukon XL. The link I've provided is specifically for regular unleaded fuel. If your Yukon is a "Flex Fuel" (can use either unleaded or E85 gasoline) the specific filter/part number will be different. Otherwise the filter itself looks exactly the same. And if you're not certain, the filter should be located along the driver side inner frame rail...below the driver's seat.
Good luck

What size engine ? 4.3 L vortex P0300 random misfire code is usually associated with vacuum leaks , but could also be low fuel pressure , plugged fuel filter , fuel pump problem , clogged injectors etc... doing fuel pressure an flow testing would confirm or eliminate that as a problem . Fuel injector balance testing would confirm or eliminate clogged injectors .

Where is teh fuel filter located on my 99 yukon

The fuel filter is located under the vehicle on the inside of the frame rail,drivers side.no special tool is required. A 5/8 line wrench to break loose the fuel lines. There is one bolt that holds the bracket to the frame you'll have to remove. Use caution due to fuel pressure on the line.

Location of fuel filter The yukon turns over good but will not start.

Mid way the vehicle right or left side next to the door. Depending on the milage, the problem could be plugs, plug wire, fuel filter, idle air control valve, fuel injectors or disteributors. Purchase you a repair manual for the car, a good investment. .

Fuel filter

It is located underneath the car on driver side, nearly under the driver seat. Follow the fuel pipe coming from the fuel tank.
