Re: Relocating Fuel Filter
The biggest concern comes when you consider that there is a reason why the engineers elect to locate the fuel filter near the fuel pump in the rear of the car. My guess would be how the filter affects the pressure of the fuel system.
Yes, there are kits for relocating your fuel filter to the engine compartment. But those kits often also involve fuel line twice as thick and a fuel pump that generates twice the pressure that the stock one does.
There are kits to relocate fuel filters out there too... but there are reasons it rarely gets done. And an oil filter gets changed a hundred times more often than your fuel filter. (According to GM, the fuel filter should last the life of the car. Course "life of the car" likely means 5 years or 100,000 miles.)
