there is a filter in line and a sock filter on the fuel pump in the tank!
where is the fuel filter located on a 2003 Pontiac sunfire
Near the rear of the vehicle up near the gas tank; RELIEVE FUEL PRESSURE FIRST BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER!!!
rear end of car over the rear axle support beam just rear of fuel tank
Under the car by the fuel tank
Follow the fuel lines forward to the engine from the fuel tank. Somewhere on the line you will find the fuel filter.
Try back near the fuel tank. if it is the same as my sunfire it is right behind the gas tank.
it at the back of your gas tank
next to the tank
The fuel filter on a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire is in the rear between the fuel tank and the rear axle. By the way its under the car and easy to change takes about 10 minutes.
Inside the fuel tank
I know that on a '96 the fuel filter is an in-line type near the fuel tank. As Pontiac hasn't really altered much on the Sunfire in over ten years, I'd suggest starting there.
Near the gas tank. It's an in-line filter.
