Can't find the fuel filter. Some sites show it is in the gas tank other show it is inline, but none give a good description where the inline one is.

Hi,

On this vehicle, the fuel filter is an inline filter. The fuel filter is located underneath the chassis on the left-hand side of the fuel tank.

I attached a pic below showing its location. See pic 1. Also, here is a link you may find helpful:

The remaining pictures are the directions for the removal and replacement specific to your vehicle.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
