Hi, it's back by the fuel tank.

NOTE: The fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle in the area of the rear suspension.

  1. Relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse from the battery junction box, starting the engine, and allowing the engine to idle until it stalls.
  2. Raise the vehicle.
    NOTE To remove the lines, press the quick-release tabs on the connectors.
  3. Remove or disconnect the following:

    Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) vapor line Fuel filter lines Fuel filter and bracket assembly Fuel filter

It is located under the car on the passenger side just ahead of the rear wheel by the gas tank, secured to a bracket by one 5/16" bolt. The filter is round and roughly the size of a can of soup.

The fuel filter is of conventional construction being that of a paper element sealed within a steel canister. The fuel filter is located within a bracket at the leading edge of the fuel tank.

The fuel filter is located back by the gas tank. It is a round filter with 5/16" nipples on each end. It is about 2 1/4" in diameter and about 4 1/2" long. The new filter will come with new retaining clips.

How to see f fuel pump is bad in ford focus 2000 zx3

THE EASEST WAY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR FUEL PUMP HAS QUIT WORKING IS FIND UR FUEL FILTER AND RELEASE THE FUEL LINE COMING INTO THE FUEL FILTER WHICH IS SOMETIMES LOCATED UNDER THE CAR APPROX ABOUT WHERE THE DRIVER SEAT IS MOUNTED ON THE FRAME , U MAY NYEED A TAB RELEASE WRENCH THAT SPLITS IN TWO TO FIT OVER FUEL LINE . ONCE DISCONNECTED TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE POSITION WHERE UR INSTRUMENT PANEL COME ON BUT DONT TRY TO START IT THEN LOOK UNDER UR CAR AND FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT AT 7 TO 15 LBS PER SEC , IF NO FUEL SHOOTS OUT THEN U DO HAVE A BAD INTERNAL FUEL PUMP .

Ford focus 1.8 turbo deisel 1999.

do not understand you what you mean. assuming your car was ok before you changed f/filter you need to bleed the fuel system of air. esiest to do would be to loosen fuel line at the injectors and have assistant crank the engine while you observe for clear fuel leak without any air bubbles from fuel line.tighten fuel lines and start engine. might have to repeat a few times. good luck.
