Fuel Filter......just making sure.

[Grocery Getter]

Hey guys, I have an 04' Tahoe and I was under the understanding the fuel filter is in the fuel pump in the gas tank and therefore can not be changed and doesn't need to be unless the fuel pump goes. Am I correct? When That is what I was told when I went to buy a Fuel Filter anyway. I don't see one under my truck but I haven't looked that hard either.....

My fuel filter is mounted on the drivers side frame under the drivers seat

If you have a fuel filter, it would be located on the driver's side frame rail closest to the driver's side door.

Don't think I do then.........

That's odd...follow the fuel line from the tank and see if it has the filter..its a little difficult to see as its kinda hidden on the frame rail

yea dude, i dont see how you wouldnt have the fuel filter...

its located right about the area where the two doors meet on the driver side, it is held in by a black clip... its about 1 1/2" in diamiter, about 3" long.

i'm not sure what year it was started but it might just be 04 that the filter was moved to the tank.

Have an 04 myself and changed the filter about 6 months ago

Ok....ok.....ur right. I got my lazy ass under the truck enough to see it....barely, **** I'm sitting low. It is tiny little f'er. The filter on my wife's Volvo is much bigger. It is on weird diagonal corner part of the frame tucked up in there. I wonder why when I went to Auto Zone and asked for a fuel filter for my truck they said " No Ay"

Ty--- This looks a little different then what I am used to being that it is pressurized, do I need to do anything aside from unscrew the sukker? Doesn't look like I have any of those easy clip joints everyone is bitching about, it looks straight forward loosen rear bolt back out filter..... I also discovered today while looking into this I have a flex fuel VIN:Z engine. I did not know that.

i have a flex fuel as well, that means you have the quick connect on the front of the filter (to my knowledge, they didnt make the FF any different and since we have the same year i cant imagin its any different then mine). The back of the filter is just a few turns away from disconnect.

dont even bother with those universal quick connect bull *****... they dont work.. ON ANYTHING EVER! haha

GM makes a tool that i hear is tough to use as well, you need this guy here
