It is on top of the fuel pump sending unit assemply which is located in the fuel tank! The only way to get the fuel filter is to buy the sending unit.

Are you certain that it is on the sending unit and in the tank? I am getting alien info. One that says information technology is a unproblematic in-line filter, ane that says there are 2 filters and then this one. Too, that it is on the sending unit, but exterior the tank. Does the location differ depending on 2WD, 4WD, SLT, 5.vii. 3.nine, 4.7, etc....?

I know at that place is a filter that is continued to the fuel sending unit inside the gas tank just is there two. Is this a secondary inline fuel filter? It reads 'Filter on it".

02Rammer, That is the Vapor Canister. More EPA crap, it contains a valve/solenoid and a charcoal filter. The vapor canister reduces the amount of evaporated fuel a machine or truck emits. A fuel tank requires some type of vent to reliably dispense fuel to the engine. Without a vent, negative pressure builds up in the fuel tank and prevents fuel from flowing to the rest of the fuel system. When the vehicle is parked, evaporated fuel makes it way through the vents and into the atmosphere. Vacuum canisters utilize activated charcoal to trap fuel in the system before it contaminates the environment. Some vacuum canisters characteristic one-way check valves to ensure h2o doesn't contaminate the vehicle'south fuel tank.
