2004 V6 Sonata--Fuel Filter Removal/Install Question
My '04 Sonata 2.7L V6 has 43K miles and has the original fuel filter
installed. I don't suspect that it's clogged but I figured it wouldn't hurt to change it either. I've read that it is located in the fuel tank itself, can anyone verify this? If it is, what is the procedure for changing it out? I would guess it's accessed from the trunk?? I imagine the fuel line pressure would have to be reduced. Is this a job for the dealer or can a somewhat mechanically inclined individual tackle this? Thanks. Ed |

Most cars today will show early signs of a fuel filter clogging. There will be reduced performance due to the lowered delivery pressure. Absent that I just wondered why not wait until it begins to show early warning signs? Just like to stay ahead of these things? -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

I believe you're correct Ed. If you're handy with a screwdriver and
ratchet, you should be able to do this. I usually pull the line off at the pump carefully and gradually to let the pressure bleed off. |

You're probably right, though I've noticed a slight hesitation under
heavy acceleration. I figured at most I'll be out a few bucks and it's one less thing to do at 60K. Ed |

There's a reprogram available to correct an intermittent hesitation on this
car. Unfortunately, the TSB gives no description of the circumstances under which the hesitation occurs. |
