Lightbulb Where's it at?

I am doing a couple of routine tune-ups to my car. Today I'm going to change the spark plugs. (My car runs really rough sometimes....its an on and off again thing) Later I was going to check out the fuel filter, but I was wondering if anyone knew where that was located..it's a 94 3.4.

Your fuel filter is going to be on the bottom of the car, towards the back, near the left rear tire. It's a small shiny metal canister about half the size of a 12oz. can with a line running from both ends of it.

Be prepared for a gas shower...def put your smokes out.

Open the gas cap to release some of the pressure...helps a little.

Yea be ready for a spill, as said before release pressure by un-screwing your gas cap. Sometimes they won't even spill any or not that much at all, right?

The paper filter is in the back of the car.
Take off the gas cap and let out the pressure then right before you take the line apart put the gas cap back on it will make a vaccume and the fuel won't pore out, less fuel will spill and you can keep more air out of the fuel line that way.

the placement given in prior posts, is correct. release the pressure from the cap, and the let it sit over night, shouldnt be much gas in the lines after that........ have a bucket handy though.
