Fuel filter is located in fuel tank as an attachment on fuel pump assembly.

Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job and diagrams below to show you how on your car.

Could you tell me where the fuel filter located in my car and how to change it. I was told to try changing this, since my car recently appears to be shakey, something chocking feeling when I stop the car at the light, and runs smoothly when drive. pl. help.

Thanks
