Where is the fuel filter?
Does it have one other than the one in the tank?

Good afternoon.

The filter is at the fuel pump. It is the only one listed. I attached a picture of the location of the filter for you to view. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Check at the fuel tank where the fuel pump module-its right beside the pressure regulator.

Welcome to the forum, the fuel pressure regulator has an internal filter, the regulator is on top of the fuel pump module. There is no separate fuel filter, that I know about.

What's the symptom? Except for diesels, you will never solve a running problem on a Chrysler product by replacing the fuel filter.

I replaced the fuel pump in my 2001 at the adviace of a friend. After replacing the $130 fuel pump I realized all I needed was a tune up. Replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor button ran great after and now I have an extra fuel pump that I dont need.

Should be where the cab and the bed meet in that general location. Follow the fuel lines from the tank up to the engine, you will find it that way.

There is also one on the fuel pump.

I staled in the middle of the inter section. It turns over but when I give it gas it dies. I had someone look at it and they said it was a fuel problem. The fuel isnt getting to what ever part it needs to run. They said to try to replace the fuel filter then next thing would be fuel pump. Does that sound right? How would I change that since the filter is under the pump>?

Hello, I'd use a gage and double-check fuel pressure. I'd also check for good B+ and ground at the pump. Check for codes. If you need to get at the pump, look and see if you can reach anything, if not, lift the bed or drop the tank.

Hi, not sure which filter your talking about? If strainer that is on the end of fuel pump? You'll have to drop the gas tank and remove fuel pump assembly.

There is a regulator/fuel filter on top of the fuel pump assembly, not in the tank. Don't know if you can reach without dropping the tank?

The fuel filter is located at the top of the fuel tank. Here are some diagrams of where the filter is located in the tank. (Below)

It is with the pressure regulator.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken

Sing a twisting motion pull fuel filter/pressure regulator from the rubber

grommet on the fuel pump module, ensure it's not pulled more then 3 inches out

or damage to the pressure regulator can occur! Dodge recomends the tank be

removed to service the filter/regulator! It's on top of the gas tank!
