I think fuel filter is clogged I was told that there is one on top of fuel tank, if so is it easy to get off and install new one?

Hi Sherrie,

This filter is part of the fuel pump module that is inside the tank. You access it from the top of the tank.

Getting a small amount of fuel is most likely a fuel filter or pump that has failed. Unfortunately, it is the same repair either way.

You can put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail and confirm you have low pressure if you want to before replacing the pump.

Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks
