Because its exact position can vary slightly depending on the engine and options, it's best to consult a repair manual specific to your 1997 S-10's model (engine size, trim level, etc.) A Haynes or Chilton manual will have diagrams showing the exact location. You can also use a search engine and search for "1997 Chevy S-10 fuel filter location [engine size]" to find images or videos showing its position.
