Where abouts is the fuel filter on 96 swift, followed lines and can't find it?

It is located in the fuel tank.

Look under the car, passenger side. Follow the fuel/emmisions lines from the fuel tank. They will pass under a protective cover that comes off with a 10mm socket. The fuel filter is under the plate.

How about the fuel pump...are you getting the fuel to the cylinders? Is the fuel making it through the fuel line through the fuel filter? Drop a few drops in 1 cylinder, if it fires, you have a fuel problem. Does it turn over? If not check out the motor starter!

On your Swift, there's probably a fuel filter located just off the gas tank that's somewhat hard to spot. It also takes a bit of finesse to get a wrench in position to change the filter, and so this part is often not changed out until it's completely plugged. I would suggest changing this filter to see if this makes any difference. However, even a plugged filter normally allows a bit of gasoline to dribble through.

A second possibility is that your fuel pump isn't working properly. I don't have my reference materials in front of me, but I believe that this car is equipped with an electric pump, as opposed to a mechanical pump on the engine. If your fuel pump isn't working, you won't get fuel delivery through the lines to your engine. Also, the fuel pump may have failed from having to work extra-hard to compensate for a partially or wholly blocked fuel filter (see above).

I would trouble-shoot both these items; I suspect that one or both of them are contributing to your fuel problem. I have seen a number of Swifts / Metros sold "as-is" or sent to the junk yard for running poorly when their only problem is a clogged fuel filter.

1. Remove the turbocharger assembly.
2. Remove the fuel line banjo bolt at the pump.
3. Remove the fuel line fittings at the rear of the cylinder heads.
4. Remove the fuel lines assembly.
5. Loosen the two hose clamps at the fuel pump fittings.
6. Disconnect the water drain hose at the fuel filter.
7. Disconnect the filter and position it forward.
8. Remove the fuel pump retaining bolts, then lift the pump out of the crankcase bore.
9. Remove the fuel pump tappet from the crankcase bore.

To install:

1. Rotate the engine so the fuel pump eccentric is on the base circle.
2. Install the fuel pump tappet in the base of the fuel pump.
3. Replace the O-ring on the fuel pump base.
4. Install the fuel pump and bolt it in place.
5. Install the fuel filter and connect the water drain hose.
6. Connect the two fuel hoses at the front of the fuel pump.
7. Tighten the fuel line clamps and install the fuel filter retaining bolts.
8. Install the fuel line assembly and new seal rings at the rear of the pump.
9. Loosely install the fuel line fittings at the rear of the cylinder heads.
10. Install the fuel line banjo fitting at the pump. Tighten the fitting to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
11. Tighten the fuel line fittings.
12. Install the turbocharger assembly.

Check the air filter and the sensors, they are clogged. You should also replace the oil and check the fuel filter, the lines and the injectors for damage, fine dust is a powerful abrasive.

look on top of the tank .Do not remove tank just lower it.
