In 2004 the fuel filter was moved to the fuel tank and is non serviceable, with the exception of vehicles with flex fuel engines and trucks with a 4.3 engine. These remained on the frame rail through 2004 then were moved to the fuel tank as well.

 

(we discuss this at least 2 maybe 3 times a month)

 

Have a good one

Is that a good setup with the fuel filter in the tank that is unserviceable? or has anyone had trouble with the in tank setup?

I guess it doesn't matter whether its good or bad its the way it is. Most manufacturers have gone this way. I believe for government regulations for the closed loop system.

 

It is a part of the fuel pump. Now fuel pumps do go out. My personal opinion is that the fuel in the tank keeps the fuel pump cool. People run the fuel level down very low on a regular bases and the pump over-heats running the risk of shortening the fuel pumps life.

 

Just my opinion
