How do you replace the fuel filter located on a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder?
The fuel filter is at the rear of the fuel tank, Above the rear end of the vehicle, it is clalped to a support bracket by a bolt with a 10 mm head, it has a rubber hose on each end with phillips head screw hose clamps . It is easier to remove the screw clamps before you loosen the filter from the bracket. Once you remove the clamps and hose from the tank side loosen the hold down clamp, slide the filter out toward the passenger side and then remove the exzisting hose. The hoses will probably be stuck to the filter from the hose clamp pressure, just turn the hoses back and forth by hand until they break loose. A little liquid soap on the filter will allow the hoses to slide back in place easily.
