Your vehicle's fuel filter is located in the engine bay passenger side at the front. It is a silver canister with four rubber lines coming into it.
With diesel engines, absolute cleanliness is essential for the fuel system components. The injection pump of a diesel engine has extremely close tolerances; even small particles of dirt can seriously affect performance.
Changing the fuel filter on vehicles equipped with diesel engines is one of the most basic, yet critical forms of preventative maintenance. Replacement of the filter every 30,000 miles is recommended.
