Best Answer

The fuel filter on a 1998 Dodge Neon is not a serviceable (or cleanable) type. It's more like a "screen" or a "strainer" that attaches to the base of the fuel pump assembly which sits inside the gas tank. To get to the fuel screen, you need to take the entire fuel pump assembly out of the tank. If you are replacing the entire fuel pump, then it's definitely recommended that the fuel strainer be replaced at the same time. Although the strainer looks like a washable nylon mesh, it's not recommended to do so since by now it's over 10 years old and fully saturated with old fuel and contaminants. A new strainer normally comes with the fuel pump assembly, but you can possibly also buy it separately (from the dealer) for about $40.
