Where is the Fuel Filter???

[Curt63084]

I know this is a stupid question, but where is the fuel filter on a 2008 3.8L Grand Prix. I just recently bought this car and this morning i went and followed the lines from the gas tank to the front of the vehicle and found NO filter. I'm assuming it is inside the gas tank but i want some other opinions! Please help!

not sure exactly on 08's but i did a 04 for a guy on here and its behind teh driver side of frame right by rear passenger door.

the 04+ guys have the fuel filter in the gas tank. you dont want to have to change it.

[gtpinsc]

no sir... i did one on a 04 GTP and it was on driver side behind frame. they may have changed the design in the latter years. but i do know for a fact 04 is on frame.

There are some oddball cars out there. A mechanic buddy of mine called me on an 03 Comp G with Gen V. I saw the car in person and it's build date was around Jan 03. It was a Comp G and vin was 03 as well.

nothing a lil PB blaster and line wrench cant take care of.

[SlowNA06]

D'aw, I think you're nifty, too.

Nope. Fuel line cutter, flare tool, and fuel line repair kit will do it though. What a wonderful design for people who live where the roads get salted. Guess I have to store this hot rod in the winter.

lol, you can get them off just fine, its called a line wrench and spin the filter.

[powerranger262]

Did both.

Ah...mine's in the tank.

[SlowNA06]

Dammit, I get so confused. Time to stop huffing glue.

Good luck with that line wrench and PB blaster if you live in a Salted road state. I should have kept mine to take a picture but it was destroyed.

[Bio248]

i used a vice grips on the nut. needless to say, i only changed my fuel filter once.

Wrench + spinning the filter worked like a charm for me.
