Hello,

The fuel filter is inline on the fuel line coming from the gas tank going to the engine. The fuel filter gets plugged with contaminants and debris that gets into the fuel tank. It should be changed at regular intervals. I have included the instructions for removal and installation in the diagrams down below. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Alex
