Hi,

It should be close to the fuel tank in the rear. I attached the directions with pics from the service manual. Take a look through them and let me know if you are able to locate it.

Keep in mind, I went through two separate professional manuals, and they were the same. I even compared the base model with the GT, and they are the same.

Take a look through the directions below. If it isn't where indicated, try to follow the steel tubing from the tank forward to see if it leads you to the filter. Someone may have changed its location and design.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
