To be certain about your specific van:
* Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information. It will show you the filter's location and recommended replacement intervals.
* Look under the hood: The filter might be easily visible, though often it's tucked away and requires some searching. It's usually a cylindrical canister, sometimes metal and sometimes plastic.
* Consult a repair manual specific to your van's year, engine, and trim level: This will provide detailed diagrams and instructions.
* Search online forums: Searching online forums dedicated to Chevy Express vans (e.g., forums specific to years 2003-2005) will help you find information from other owners regarding their fuel filter locations. Include your engine type in your search (e.g., "2005 Chevy Express 4.8L fuel filter location").
In short: Assume your van *does* have a fuel filter and locate it using the methods above. Regular maintenance, including fuel filter replacement, is essential.
