The fuel filter is located underneath the vehicle's floor; therefore, unscrew the clamps securing the fuel inlet and outlet hoses and slide them off. Next, unscrew the clamp securing the filter and remove it from its housing. Then, attach the clamp to the new filter and secure it to the vehicle's frame, ensuring you respect the direction of the fuel flow: there are arrows on the filter indicating the flow direction.

Once the filter is positioned and secured, insert the hoses into their respective fittings and tighten the securing clamps carefully (consider whether it may be necessary to replace hoses and clamps).

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
