Chrysler Repair: Chrysler 2000 town and country mini van, haynes manual, gas tank


Question
How do I replace a fuel filter?  I know it sits on top of gas tank.  Any diagram available? Need to fix asap - 3 teenagers and it's finals!
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Ann,
Yes the filter is on the top edge of the tank adjacent to the fuel pump module. It is held in place by a bolt. It is attached by quick-diconnect fittings to the fuel lines (squeeze an "ear" tab and a tab on the tube to release). According to the shop manual it doesn't require lowering the tank to do this task, but the Haynes manual suggests that it does, so I can't be sure. You can take a look for it to see if you can access the disconnects without lowering the tank. The only way to give you a diagram is to xerox and postal mail it to you on Tuesday. Use the "thank and rate" tab where you can enter a postal mailing address. Are you certain that you need to replace the filter and that if there is a problem it is caused by the filter?
