Hope this helps.Can anyone point me to a link on how to change the fuel filter on my Ford Focus?Fuel filters are different sizes, but the one you have can be blown backward with high pressure air- and re-installed.
The round filter uses two pressure fittings that only need be unscrewed. The filter is on the side of the frame between the
rear tank and the front seats.
Replace it or blow it out- most likely it is not a problem- they only need replacing if someone dumped sugar in your tank.
