Changed the fuel pump in my car, but I can’t find the fuel filter, not sure if it’s underneath the vehicle or in the fuel tank.

The location of the fuel filter can vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. In some vehicles, the fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle, typically along the fuel lines, while in other vehicles, it may be integrated into the fuel tank along with the fuel pump assembly.

Here are a few common scenarios:

Underneath the vehicle: In many older vehicles, the fuel filter is located along the fuel lines, usually near the fuel tank or along the frame rail. It can be mounted with brackets or clamps.

Inside the fuel tank: Some modern vehicles have the fuel filter integrated into the fuel pump assembly, which is inside the fuel tank. In this case, accessing and replacing the fuel filter typically requires removing the fuel pump assembly.
