Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. The fuel filter is built into the in-tank fuel pump and fuel sending unit assembly which is mounted inside the fuel tank. The fuel filter is only replaceable if the fuel pump-sending unit has failed or needing replacement. If you have any further questions on this issue let us know and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Good morning,

Fuel Filter

This vehicle has a lifetime fuel filter built into the fuel sender inside the tank and thus is not serviceable separately. The fuel filter is not a replaceable part.

As Danny said, in order to replace it, the entire fuel pump needs to be replaced. I attached the procedures for you of the replacement.

There are a couple of guides for you to review.
