It is a good idea to change the fuel filter at the same time your vehicle is being tuned-up, and your air filter, oil filter and spark plugs are also being changed as well. A clogged fuel filter can cause your vehicle to lose perfomance and in some cases, stall out. By changing these filtering components at regular intervals that your vehicle manufacturer suggests, will help keep your vehicle running smooth, efficient, and clean.

The fuel filter sits on the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit/module located at the top of the gas tank. Unless you suspect you have a fuel contamination problem, changing the filter is not necessary. If you think it is necessary, you have to drop the fuel tank in order to gain access to the unit/module. There should also be a screen type filter at the bottom of the unit/module as well. Hope this helps.
