There is one fuel filter on your car and the fuel pump in in the gas tank you can check it by turning the key over to start a few times and asoon as you stop turning the engine over you should be able to hear a humming noice from the gas tank under the car... if you do not hear this you probbley need a fuel pump installed this can be done at home but is not easy. to check if the engine is to blaim try spraying some starter fluid in the intake " where the engine sucks in the air when its running " and try to start it, if it trys to start the fuel pump would be my next course of action

Where is the fuel filter canister located on this 2006 GMC sierra 1500

The fuel filter on this vehicle is located inside the fuel tank and is a part of the fuel pump module. As such, it can only be serviced by replacing the pump module assembly. In theory, these are a lifetime filter and I've only seen a couple of them plug so far and those were due to dirty fuel that came out of a private service tank. The only real test to see if the filter is restricted is to have someone road test the vehicle with a fuel pressure test gauge hooked up to the fuel rail so the actual pressure can be observed while the vehicle is under load. Hope this helps out!

Fuel filter for the chevy uplander

The fuel filter on this vehicle is located inside the fuel tank and is an integral part of the fuel pump module assembly. As such, it's not replaceable by itself and can only be serviced by replacing the entire pump module. It's a "lifetime" filter, in theory anyway, but it can plug up if there has been a large amount of crud that has gotten into the tank somehow. The best way to determine if the filter is restricted is to have the fuel pressure tested as part of a road test drive to see if the pressure remains steady [indicating a good pump and ok filter] or drops off [indicating a restricted filter or weak pump] Hope this helps!

Its not starting. fuel pump is not workiing we

The fuel pump is in the fuel tank. As far as testing it goes you will need a fuel pressure gauge and a test light. Connect the pressure gauge to the test port on the fuel rail. If I remember correctly on older Plymouths you have to tie in the pressure gauge to the fuel line. Make sure to tie it in to the supply line. Next turn the key on but do not start it. Check the gauge to see if you have fuel pressure. If you do then the pump is working. If not use the test light to make sure you have power to the pump.

Where is the fuel pump relay located and how do i bypass it to test the pump

Most newer cars, the pump in located in side the tank. But some have the pump along the side one or the other. Look for a can with lines going in and out. The best way to see if it is working, would be to take the fuel line loose at the fuel rail, some have a press test port, looks just like the valve on a car tire. turn on the key and depress the center of the test port or take the hose loose from the fuel rail. If no fuel or press is present, you have a bad pump or a stoped up filter. Look on line at Advanced parts com and look up your pump and your filter so you know what they look like.  To see where they are.

1989 vw cabriolet fuel pump test is there a way

yes. Depending on where your fuel filter is located, you can disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter and then try to crank the car over. If it spits fuel out of the disconnected line your pump is working, if not then it's bad. Another way to tell, but not always is when you car is started you hear a high pitched whining sound from the tanks. This is usually (again, not always) an indication of a fuel pump about to fail.
