Fuel filter replacement on an 05 Base model?
I want to replace the fuel filter on my 05 Base Vibe.Where is it located, and are there any tricks to doing the job?I'm hoping it's not inside the gas tank...but i don't see it inside the engine compartment, as I hoped.Generally, for things like this, i have been buying Toyota parts....because they aren't GM

Sorrysee if http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=37065 helps anyAlso, if you are going to get the filter froma a dealer, then check both GM and Toyota. depending on the part, sometimes Toyota is cheaper than GM, other times GM is cheaper than Toyota. Sometimes by a lotOn these cars changing the fuel filter is typically an "only when needed" item, instead of a regularly scheduled maintenance task. Why do you think yours needs replaced?

Non-serviceable fuel filter, aka it is in the gas tank like others have stated.Do not change it unless your fuel filter goes kaput

I wanted to do it because it hasn't been done, and I couldn't find a schedule for replacement.I haven't had any trouble...I just prefer to do more maintenance, and less repair.It's hard to believe that a fuel filter will last as long as the vehicle....but I'm sure not up for removing the gas tank, to get at it.!Thanks, guys.
