Hello, I need help. I need to replace my fuel filter on my car listed above GM Echotec 2.2L. I have been looking for a video, with no luck.

Hello, I am Danny.

Unfortunately your fuel filter is a part of the fuel pump assembly. That is located inside the fuel tank making it only accessible when the fuel pump assembly is replaced. I have attached a picture of its location. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2Carpros.

Are you saying that the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump? Because in the image you sent me I do not see the fuel filter. Can I drop the tank and replace the fuel filter without removing the pump?

Hello again,

That is called the evaporative canister. That is used to store gasoline fumes from the fuel tank and then sent back through lines to the engine to be re-burnt to help reduce emissions/pollution. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
