Hyundai Repair: Hyundai XG300 Fuel Filter, hyundai xg300, dirty fuel

Question
Where is the fuel filter located in a 2001 Hyundai XG300? My car is sputtering and we think it may be a clogged or dirty fuel filter.

Answer
Presuming your car was produced prior to 1/9/01, the filter is located in the fuel line just in front of the tank.

It's unlikely, however, that the fuel filter is causing your issue.  More commonly, "sputtering" issues are caused by secondary ignition system (spark plugs, plug wires, coils) failures.  Normally, this would cause the check engine lamp to illuminate.  If your check engine lamp is on, your first step should be to read the diagnostic trouble codes.  AutoZone and AAMCO have advertised that they'll check the trouble codes for free.
