Hey guys,

I have on 04 gx470 with 103k and something I've been meaning to do is replace the fuel filter but I need some help... Where is it located and is it easy to replace? All tips/advice welcome.


Thanks, James

How come you don't see a replacement in the maintainence schedule, for that matter, the filter replacement is not listed in any of the cars I own anymore. Used to be part of standard care many years ago?

In the Fuel Tank? How does it get replaced?

I guess that answers my question! Thought so, self cleaning filters, most are in the fuel tank these days. Three mazdas, an equinox and a CRV, in our driveway, none of them have a fuel filter replacement in the schedule.

Self cleaning? Really? When did this start beoming the norm?

They are built into the fuel pump

Show me, replacing a. Fuel filter has never been easy since they took them out of the carb, remember them? If you have one they are usually under pressure and when you loosen the fittings gas comes out under that pressure, messy.
