The fuel filter on a 2001 Chevy Prizm is located
in the fuel line, not easily accessible without specialized tools. It's not like older vehicles where it's a easily accessible canister. You'll likely need to go underneath the vehicle to access it, and it's usually part of a fuel line assembly that needs to be replaced as a unit.
Don't attempt this unless you have experience working with fuel lines. Incorrect handling of fuel lines can lead to serious injury due to fire or fuel spills. It's best to have a qualified mechanic replace the fuel filter.
