Where Is the Fuel Filter Located on My 1999 Chrysler 300M?

The Chrysler 300M first debuted in 1999 as a luxury sports sedan. An essential component on the vehicle is the fuel filter which provides pure gasoline to the engine and ensures the sedan running efficiently.

Location

  • The Chrysler fuel filter is on the underside of the 300M, in the middle of the seating area. Crawl under the vehicle, or use a car jack to raise the 300M to a higher distance from the ground if you need to. If you inspect the fuel tank, identifiable as a large square component, the fuel filter will be in the fuel pump module, appearing as a small black cylinder.

Significance

  • The fuel filter removes dirt and rust particles that can get into gasoline during shipping and storage before it goes into the engine. The filter works to allow only pure gasoline to fuel the engine, helping the engine achieve optimal performance.

Warnings/ Considerations

  • Since the Chrysler 300M has the fuel filter below the vehicle, it is important to provide yourself enough room between the ground and the engine. Check that your car jack is stable before using it and have another individual present if possible. If cleaning the fuel filter, only use a damp towel. Cleaning fluid can act as a contaminant, reducing optimal performance.
