Fuel filter on a Alero
Hello all, Can anyone tell me the location of the fuel filter on a 02 Alero 3.4?
Thanks |
Its right behind the fuel tank next to the carcoal canister.

also, is there a fuel pressure release switch on this vehicle? |
It's been awhile since I changed mine, but as best I remember, it is just forward of the rear wheels in the middle of the car. It's kind of a pain to get to since the evap canister is tucked up next to it, and it's up in a little crevice of it's own.
Follow the fuel lines from the tank, you'll find it fairly easily. No special tools required. To release fuel pressure, I just pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked the engine for a few seconds. No spill, no fuss. |

yes, you may even have two filters. the first filter is usually in the fender well area, along the fuel tank in the rear of the car. a second one can be with in a foot of the fuel injection unit as the fuel piping goes from steel to rubber.

The Alero only has one filter.
