To find it, you'll need to:
1. Identify your engine: Check your vehicle's documentation (owner's manual, etc.) or the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb to determine the engine size (e.g., 4.3L, 5.7L, etc.).
2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the engine, find a repair manual specific to your 1998 Silverado and that engine. These manuals will have diagrams showing the fuel filter's precise location. You can find these online (often as PDFs) or at auto parts stores.
3. Look in common areas: While the location varies, common areas for the fuel filter on GM trucks of that era include:
* Frame rail: Often near the fuel tank, along the frame rail.
* Near the fuel tank: Sometimes mounted directly to the fuel tank or very close to it.
Without knowing the engine type, I cannot give you a precise location. Always consult a repair manual for your specific vehicle before attempting any repairs. Working with fuel systems can be dangerous; incorrect procedures can lead to fire or injury.
