I was wondering the same thing...I don't even remember what type we have...is it one of the those dastard in-tank jobbies that is impossible to get to without destroying your life? I thought we did have one somewhere in the engine bay too though, like below the mastercylinder or something...

well s***, if i have to change a in tank fuel filter im selling the car......
i started the car up this morning and it had a very very rough idle, my friend believes the fuel filter may be clogged and thats pretty much all i think of that might be wrong with it. anyone else got any ideas?

if's not that difficult to change out. i'll do mine this weekend (doing the 60000k service myself) and i'll do a how-to for yawl
you buy the whole canister except for the fuel pump and swap out the fuel pump and put the lot back in.

ok...do you have the locations of all those pics?...meaning where each one is located in the bay?...pic one appears to be too small for an inline fuel pump, at least the ones I have seen...My old probe GT had a filter that looked identical to the second pic, with a line in on the top and out on the bottom...but I never got around to changing it...and I don't know what pic 3 is either...but they all appear to have fuel lines running into them, so theoretically they could all be different types of filters with different elements for screening different things...
Now I try to do everything I can to my own car...and if there was one thing I would never even consider, its cracking open a gas tank...fuel lines are scary enough...But the amount of vapor realesed when you crack a tank is nuts, and a bad electrical outlet could turn your garage into a mushroom cloud if the conditions are right...not to mention how hard it is to seal up again...Gasoline, having very low viscosity, is hard enough to keep sealed into anything...and once you pressurize the system again, it will test the work of anyone...keep that s*** away from me...
