The fuel filter is located beneath the vehicle's floor, at the rear, near the fuel tank. It is secured to the chassis with a metal clamp, and fuel inlet and outlet pipes are connected at both ends.

The first step is to disconnect the pipes: they are connected to the filter via quick-release fittings; press the safety to remove them. Once the pipes are disconnected, unscrew the clamp and replace the filter: it is important to install the new one respecting the direction of fuel flow.

Once the filter is secured to the chassis with the appropriate fastening clamp, reconnect the pipes.
