is it under the rear seat somewhere?

ive only have <90 cars and theyre always in the enginebay...

wanna have a quick look at mine to check which type ive got, as i wanna get a new one as part of a service

 

Next to the fuel pump in the cradle mate.

 

ta stu, you get at em from underneath the car then? yeah?

i not even looked to see if ive got an internal or external pump yet! lol

i have a clue what the spec of my car really is just looked nice and went well so i bought it

 

YEP, STRAPPED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK BY THE RUSTY CRUDDY CRADLE THAT HOLDS THE PUMP AND FILTER.

 

ok i looked underneath the car... no fuelpump and no fuelfilter

my car's a 2.0 twincam remember... so it uses the internal fuelpump design...

i think ive bought the wrong fuelfilter too

 

above the driveshaft at the rear - can't remember which side tho

 

Drivers side normally (big aluminium canister) just follow the fuel lines back to it

 

The <90 cars you've owned Jim have had the fuel filter moved as the engine bay is not the factory position for the fuel filter on xr4x4 or xr4i. It is supposed to be where everyone has said either next to the fuel pump or above the rear right-hand drive shaft.

If your designing a fuel system and trying to make it fail safe which position would you place the fuel filter in,

A. Right near the fuel tank so if it fails fuel pours onto the road and you conk out.

or

B. In the engine bay right next to the battery that could have a loose connector that likes to spark from time to time

 

the fuel filter on the XR4i and 2x XR4x4s ive owned were all in the enginebay...

on XR4i it bolts to side of airbox, on XR4x4 its bolted to inner wing on passengerside...

proof:



that pic is from the TT install guide... shows you where tomove the fuelfilter when u fit the turbos (as in the std location itll foul the turbo)
