Looking at your open hood from the front, it is slightly to the right side and behind the engin block, its a 2 inch in diamiter metal can about 3 inches long. you will see it from the top view. remove the 2 clips one on top and one on bottom to change it. plan on spilling gas everywhere, as it will still be full of gas. totaly need a rag.
