2. Locate the gas filter. The fuel filter is usually located underneath the vehicle, near the fuel tank. It is a cylindrical-shaped object with two fuel lines connected to it.
3. Determine if the fuel filter is in-line or under-body. If the fuel filter is in-line, proceed to step 4. If the fuel filter is under-body, proceed to step 5.
4. In-line fuel filter:
- Disconnect the fuel lines. There will be two fuel lines connected to the fuel filter, one on each side. Disconnect the fuel lines using the fuel line disconnect tool or a flat-head screwdriver.
