* For carbureted engines (most common in '85): The fuel filter is typically in-line within the fuel lines, often near the engine's fuel pump. You'll likely find it somewhere near the passenger side of the fuel tank, possibly near the frame rail. It will be a small cylindrical canister.
* For fuel-injected engines (less common but possible): The fuel filter might be in a similar location to the carbureted version, or it could be placed differently depending on the specific fuel injection system used. The filter might be harder to find.
To find it, you'll need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual will show a diagram of the fuel system.
2. Check online resources: Search for "1985 Camaro fuel filter location [engine type]" (replace "[engine type]" with your engine, e.g., "305 V8"). You might find helpful photos or videos from others who've worked on the same car.
3. Trace the fuel lines: Starting from the fuel tank, carefully follow the fuel lines towards the engine. The filter will be somewhere along that line. Be careful; fuel lines are under pressure when the system is on.
4. Look near the fuel pump: As mentioned above, it's often located close to the fuel pump.
Remember safety precautions when working with fuel systems. Always disconnect the battery's negative terminal before starting work. Fuel is flammable, so work in a well-ventilated area away from open flames.
