Amazingly like a good fuel filter. Most fuel filters nowadays are sealed units where you replace the entire thing, not just the inside filter part, and you can't even see the filter itself without cutting it open (at which point you can pretty much take it for granted that it's NOW a bad fuel filter).

They don't have one. They have a screen in the gas tank that is suppose to filter all that bad stuff out of your fuel lines. I asked the dealer where it was, and that was what they told me. I haven't had any trouble yet, and I have over 145k on the car.


How can you tell if you have a bad filter or a bad fuel pump on a mpv?

The best thing to do is replace the fuel filter anyway. You will need to do it even if the fuel pump is bad, so you have nothing to lose. You can listen to hear iif the fuel pump is kicking on at all. If it is, just do the fuel filter. Its much cheaper and easier than the fuel pump. Then you can test the fuel pressure to see if the pump is bad after you replace the filter.
