Is it possible to change the fuel filter in a 2000 nissan almera/sentra with a qg18de engine?

The fuel filter is built into the fuel pump/sender unit which is in the fuel tank. Ive removed the whole unit but it seems pretty securely clipped together!



Is it actually possible to dismantle the unit to get to the filter or does a whole new unit have to be bought?Is it possible to change the fuel filter in a 2000 nissan almera/sentra with a qg18de engine?Nissan does not sell the fuel filter separate. I work for Nissan. Fuel filter probably does not need changing.Is it possible to change the fuel filter in a 2000 nissan almera/sentra with a qg18de engine?Wow, that sounds like a nightmare. No wonder why the car manufacturers are in trouble, they can't seem to pull their heads out of their asses!

In answer to your question, I would have to say yes. Anything is possible if you are creative. I went through a similar situation with a Dodge Caravan, the unit was a little tricky to open up, but patience and persistence is key here. If you get stuck, you could bring the unit to a shop that refurbishes gas tanks. A lot of these places also refurbish the sending units as well, they might be able to help you with that. Good Luck!!Is it possible to change the fuel filter in a 2000 nissan almera/sentra with a qg18de engine?nope. go to your dealer to ask for other options instead.
