Can someone please help me find my fuel filter?
I used the article in the diy link, but it didn't help. I got under my car and looked everywhere........Could someone tell me where it is relative to, say, the engine or tranny oil pans?
thanks! __________________

It's under the drivers seat close to the door. Under the car of course. There is a metal cover over it. Quote: | Originally Posted by maherbaz Can someone please help me find my fuel filter?

the metal cover, i was afraid of that. How hard is that to remove and re-attach? __________________

Use a small socket. Not hard at all. Clamp off the fuel lines so the gas doesn't spew. I removed the fuse for the fuel pump and cranked the engine a few times before starting. That relieves the pressure in the lines. Quote: | Originally Posted by maherbaz the metal cover, i was afraid of that. How hard is that to remove and re-attach? | __________________

ok thanks,
but just to clarify:
you mean the metal sheet that runs along the bottom of the car, not just a little metal piece covering the fuel filter, right? __________________

It is a metal cover that is only designed to enclose the fuel filter. It is not some large cover that spans the whole under carriage. Isn't there a write up that shows what it looks like? Quote: | Originally Posted by maherbaz ok thanks,
