Good luck,

Fuel Filter

Fuel Filter At Left Side Frame Rail

You will have some fuel leakage but have a pan and the new filter ready and you won't lose much.

I wouldn't get my hopes too high on that resolving your problem though. That is a high flow, pass through filter and generally doesn't prevent a car from starting but a restricted filter will lead to a fuel pump failure.

The filter has a threaded fitting on one end, use a couple of wrenches, and quick connect fitting on the other end. The autostore sells a tool for the quick connect fitting. Make sure there is no fuel pressure on the system before taking anything loose.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

TOOL REQUIRED

IMPORTANT: Inspect the fuel tank internally and clean the fuel tank if you find a restricted fuel filter. Refer to Fuel System Cleaning.

CAUTION: Refer to Battery Disconnect Caution in Service Precautions.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure.
Clean all the fuel filter connections and the surrounding areas before disconnecting the fuel pipes in order to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system.
Disconnect the quick connect fitting (3) from the fuel filter outlet.
Disconnect the threaded fitting from the fuel filter inlet.
Remove the fuel filter bracket bolt.
Disconnect the fuel pipes from the fuel filter bracket.
Remove the fuel filter from the bracket.
Inspect the fuel O-ring for cuts, nicks, swelling or distortion. Replace the O-ring if necessary.
