A fairly simple (daft?) question.

Where is the fuel filter located? The RAVE manual describes how to change (jack up vehicle etc) but as far as I can see, it doesn't say exactly where it is.

I had a quick look at the weekend & couldn't spot it - do you need to remove the fuel tank guard? I would expect the filter to be close to the tank.

The car is struggling under heavy accelleration - feels like fuel starvation & it seems like an obvious starting place.

Thanks,

Keith.

as far as i can remember, on my 95 4.0 se , the fuel filter is the round aluminium canister, underneath the drivers side back door, between the air tank and the rear axle

It is a 2000 x - guess that is maybe why I couldn't see it. Pump has already been changed & not fixed the problem - will try checking the MAF sensor -some posts here indicate that could be an issue.

The car started playing up after about 8hrs on the motorway - wasn't overheating or anything else obvious.

Thanks for your replies.

Cheers,
