Question
Can you please tell me where the Fuel filter is located on the T&C 2005.

Answer
Hi Allie,
The latest manual I have is for '02 and on that one the filter is on the top of the tank, near the fuel pump module. You have to lower the tank, use a floor/tranmission jack about 6" to get access to it. Start by releasing fuel pressure and disconnecting the negative battery cable. Then raise and support the vehicle, then support the tank with the jack. The fuel line at the front of the tank has to be removed. Then remove ground strap. The remove the inboard side of the fuel tank straps and the front T strap fastener. Then lower the tank. Then remove the fuel lines from the fuel pump module and finally remove the filter which is held in place by a bolt. Install the new filter, tighten bolt to 40 inch-pounds and reverse the process.
