Fuel filter location....!

I believe it's under your hood next to the plenum. You may have to remove
the OEM engine cover to see it.

There may be a better way of answering that..I know with the domestic cars I have had there was an in line fuel filter and maybe the G's is in the fuel tank..I know my Tundra is like that...for some reason the manufactures are going to that type of setup, probably so us DITY can't do that maintenance or make it harder..

It is right between the plenum and battery compartment.

Most fuel filters these days are internal (located in fuel tank). When there is no mention of replacement in the maintanance book, you can be pretty sure it's in the tank. However, I can't confirm this with the G.

The fuel filter is a maintenance-free item (In-tank type fuel filter).

It's in the fuel tank... as part of the fuel pump assembly. I just checked the Factory Service Manual to verify this for you.

the fuel filter should be accessible under the rear seats of your car. pull the seat cushion... pull up the carpeting... and u should find access to the filter/sensor/pump. i'm pretty sure that's where it was located on my '05.

the service manuals can be downloaded somewhere on this site. just download the manuals and double check to make sure.

It's in the fuel tank. The thing next to the plenum I believe is the fuel regulator. I had a leak there once, wasn't cool

As far as I know, last time when I tried to do a tune up myself and went to the dealer looking for parts. The tech there told me there's no fuel filter, there's a system that built inside the fuel tank and its self cleaning. I took his words for it, plus he double checked to make sure if he's wrong including the 350Z parts and came out nothing.
