The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side of firewall. It can be recognized as a cylinder with a diameter of about 2 inches and 3 inches tall. It has a fuel line going in the bottom and a fuel line comming out of the top. If you go to a part store, be sure to get one for fuel injection if you have that or one for carborated if you have that. The part guy didn't know that there were two types on the Festive and tried to give me a small plastic fuel filter with both fuel lines on the top. The lines are under pressure so watch out (disconnect the negative post on the battery and trip the inertia switch to releave the pressure or buy the fuel relief tool from your part dealer.
3.6 Quarts (including filter)
Mounted on the engine block.
on drivers side firewall
