The fuel filter on a 1989 Nissan Maxima is located *in the engine compartment*.
Here are the steps on how to locate the fuel filter:
1. Open the hood of your car.
2. Locate the engine.
3. The fuel filter is located near the fuel line that runs from the fuel tank to the engine.
4. It is a cylindrical-shaped object with two metal lines coming out of it.
5. Typically there will be a blue clip on one side of the fuel filter which needs to be pressed to unlock the fuel line.
