Re: Cant find the fuel filter

The above posts are mostly right. There is a screen attached to the pump that is part of the pump assembly in the tank. I wouldn't call it self cleaning. There is another filter (I changed mine at 175000 miles - 1999 protege) but it should last the life of the car. You have to remove the throttle body, intake hoses and a lot of stuff just to get to it. It's mounted to the body on the drivers side close to the firewall. I followed the fuel lines. Unless you get some really bad gas, it shouldn't require replacement. Use some sea foam injector cleaner.
