Default Where is the fuel filter

Where is the location of the fuel line filter ???

Also in my Maintenance Service Schedule "A" Book it tells me to Retighten steering locking bolts. I and the dealer do not know what and where that is. Does anybody know ????

Just a foot behind the passenger rear wheel and slightly toward the front of the car. It is covered by a plastic shield, the fuel pump is beside it.

It's not actually "behind the passenger wheel", it's slightly in front of the wheel.

I believe he (180) means it is towards the center of the car about 12 inches at the rear passenger wheel (a foot behind the passenger rear wheel) and then slightly towards the front of the car.

All I know is, this "behind" and "slightly forward" kind of talk is confusing.

One day at work, one of the other guys was telling me where to drill holes in the trunk of a Crown Vic Police car - next thing I know - I have put two holes in the gas tank of a new car with less than 150 miles on it.

OK, pizza :

If you stand facing the dead center of the passenger side rear wheel with your toes touching the tire, hold your right arm out and draw an imaginary line down from your elbow. THAT'S WHERE THE FUEL FILTER HIDES !!!!

( I couldn't sleep last night thinking how easily confused you were by "behind" and "slightly forward", while realizing that you are allowed access to nuclear power plants .......)

Yep.. things that make you go "Hmmm"..

Known as the "Head up your... wheel well method".
