Help! Where is fuel filter??

**kashak** · 01-06-2012, 05:34 PM

Hello everybody. I can't find the fuel filter where is it located? I have 2007 Aveo5 LS.

this debate/issue has been going around and around.

It seems, pre 07 doesn't have a serviceable one, and 09 + it is on the side of the tank.

where in pittsburgh are you? I wouldn't mind taking a look for myself.

If you READ the previous post, he says it does not have a "serviceable" filter, not "no filter". this means it is inside the fuel tank, so there is a filter, but it is not readily accessable for the DIY'er, but please feel free to drop the tank, and be sure to take pics for the DIY article

i do believe there is an access through the floor, probably only an addition half hour at most. (pulling the sending unit).

I hate fuel filters

Why are you changing it?

The maintenance schedule that came with my 2005 Aveo suggests changing the fuel filter at 90,000 miles. When I searched rockauto.com, I could not find a fuel filter offered for my car. A minor mystery to be solved?
