Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

On petrol cars it's normally under the fuel tank or else it's beneath one of the rear wheel arches, follow the fuel line back to see. On modern cars they are supposed to be good for 100k plus and are not normally replaced unless there's a blockage.

Look underneath, half way from front to back also on some cars. Should be easy to pick out the cylinder on the fuel line. I wouldnt fancy doing 100k on a fuel filter, I didnt reaise they were specified to last that long now!

As stated - fuel filters can last a long, long time. Some are lifetime.

Why do you need to replace it?
