* In the fuel tank: Many S10s have the fuel filter integrated *within* the fuel pump assembly located inside the fuel tank. This means you can't just easily replace the filter; you replace the whole fuel pump module.
* On the frame rail: Some older S10s might have the fuel filter as a separate, replaceable component mounted on the frame rail, typically near the fuel tank.
To find out definitively where the fuel filter is on *your* Chevy S10:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source of information.
2. Check online repair manuals: Sites like Chilton or Haynes provide detailed diagrams and instructions specific to your year and model. You'll need to know the year, engine size (e.g., 2.2L, 4.3L), and sometimes even the trim level.
3. Search online forums: Searching "[your S10 year] fuel filter location" on forums dedicated to Chevy S10s will often turn up photos and discussions from other owners.
Without knowing the specific year and engine of your S10, I can't give you a precise location. Always be cautious when working with fuel systems – fuel is flammable and potentially dangerous.
