2011 sunfire fuel filter

[annaj]

Can anyone please tell me where the fuel filter is on a 2001 sunfire. I need to change the filter but it is not where the dealership said it was?

I was able to replace the fuel filter on my wife's 2001 Sunfire fairly quick after I located it. There's a big plastic black box blocking it. You don't need any special tools to take it off, I used a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. Just be careful not to break the little green clip. I pushed it up from the bottom and pulled it off from the top.
