Where is the fuel filter located on a 1982 cj7 jeep?

Answer 1

From the factory: On the passenger side of the motor - down toward the bottom between the distributor and the fan sits the fuel pump. There's a fuel line (usually metal) that goes up and over the valve cover, to the in-line fuel filter and then to the carb. In my opinion, this was really DUMB because the filter sits right above the exhaust manifold - a very HOT manifold. One drop of gas from that filter (if the connections aren't anything but tight) could start an engine fire. Some Jeepers relocate the filter - just follow the fuel line from the gas tank forward... it's usually a cylindrical metal thing in the fuel line somewhere.
