Where is the fuel filter located on a 1997 Ford Probe GT and are they easy to change?

On a 1997 Ford Probe GT, the fuel filter is located in the fuel tank. This means it's not an easily accessible, simple change like a filter on an engine bay fuel line. Replacing it requires dropping the fuel tank, which is a more involved process requiring mechanical skills and tools.

It's not a job for a novice mechanic. It involves disconnecting fuel lines (requiring careful attention to safety), draining the fuel tank, and potentially dealing with tank straps and other components. You'll need jack stands, fuel line disconnect tools, wrenches, possibly a fuel pump removal tool, and safety glasses/gloves at a minimum.

If you're not comfortable with this level of car repair, it's highly recommended to take your Probe to a qualified mechanic to have the fuel filter replaced.
