Hyundai Accent 1.3 Fuel Filter Change - sumits9

hi guys, thanks a million for the last topic's replies first of all.

I thought I should change the fuel filter as some of you recommended but I don't know how it is done there is no Haynes manual for my Hyundai Accent 1.3 Gsi.

So I am a bit lost. Could someone please tell me how to change the Fuel filter on a Hyundai Accent? .....oh Yeh it is a Y reg and has only done 50K miles, dunno if that makes any difference.

My guess is that it is placed somewhere close to the boot but I could be wrong.

Hyundai Accent 1.3 Fuel Filter Change - GregSwain

AFAIK it's located at the back of the engine compartment, where the fuel line comes up from the tank (usually passenger side). It's a funny looking thing, appears to screw into place. As with most modern cars, the Hyundai will have a pressurised fuel system, so take the fuel-pump fuse out first, and run the pressure down (start car up and it'll stall after about 30 seconds as the pressure drops) before taking fuel filter off, or you'll end up covered in petrol!

Here's a pic of the filter so you know what you're looking for....
