Where is the fuel filter? Normally it's outside the gas tank; someone told me it's inside the gas tank? Thank you!

Hi,

The fuel filter should be along the body/frame rail under the right side of the vehicle. I attached a pic below. Let me know if you find it.

Also, here is a link you may find helpful:

Pics 1 and 2 are to help locate it. The remaining pics are for the removal and replacement of it.

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

Take care,

Joe
