Where is the fuel tank air filter on a 2006 Kia Spectra?

Answer 1

The fuel tank air filter will not be technically challenging, only time consuming. You can actually see that filter if you look under the car behind the rear wheel. There is a small opening where the filler pipe runs up to the gas cap. In order to get to it to replace it, you will need to take the wheel guard panel off (about an 1/8" thick black plastic housing). The panel is held in by six screws and two bolts which means you can take it off with a screwdriver and a wrench. However, you may still need to jack up the rear of the car and remove the rear wheel to have enough room. Once you get to it, you just need to take the old filter off and put the new one on. You don't have to run the engine or mess around with gas to replace it.(There seems to be three screws holding it in place and you need to disconnect a tube.) All you need is a wrench, screwdriver, maybe a jack and tire iron, and an hour to kill to do the entire process.
