Best Answer

you neglected to put the year, but I assume it's somewhat recent with an electric fuel pump un the fuel tank which is where the strainer filter is . Now the actual fuel filter is outside the fuel tank The fuel strainer cannot be replaced without replacing the fuel pump which is in the fuel tank. If you are lucky there may be an access plate in the bottom of your trunk. Remove the the access plate and you will be able to see the wires that connect to the fuel pump in the tank. Disconnect the battery first then disconnect the wires to the tank. In many cases the fuel pump is held in place by a half turn twist lock ring. Once that is loose (use only non spark producing tools)you simply lift it and the pump out. You will see the strainer on the bottom of the pump. You may be able to buy replacement strainers, but most if not all are worthless compared to the OEM strainer that comes with a replacement pump.
