answer
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the retainers for the rear seat, then the rear seat cushion. Disconnect the harness connector from the fuel sender.
Remove the fuel tank module screws, the fuel sender and the fuel filter.
where is the fuel filter on 2006 kia sportage
The fuel filter is located under the battery tray in the 2007 Kia Sportage.
The fuel filter in the 2000 Kia Sportage looks like a cylinder with a domed top. There are two lines attached at each end of the filter to facilitate the passage of fuel through the filter.
there is a fuel line running from the filter to the rear of the injector tube.
it connects at the fuel rail.
I believe it's inside the fuel tank
it is not hard ,but need model and year.

passenger side look for oil filter, just a little left and down is the fuel filter.
i would defiantly start by changing the fuel filter
squeeze the ends together and they will pop off.
You can replace your Kia's Sportage fuel tank at most Kia dealerships. Most general mechanic's can replace the fuel tank.
