Hello,

The fuel filter is located under the car near the rear of the car. You will need to jack the car up safely here is a guide to help you with that.

This next guide will give you an idea of what you are in for when changing the fuel filter.

Here is a video to help you remove the lines from the filter even though it is a ford they are the same connectors.

Slacken off quick-release connectors from fuel filter using an 17 mm open wrench.
Remove Torx 25.
