Sorry I am not sure about 2010 but on CHEVY the ones I have change over the last few years. They were around the gas tank axle area (One was above the vacuum canister near the gas tank.) or under the car on the drivers side attached to the frame between tank and engine compartment.
You might check with a auto parts store and ask for a exact match fuel filter for you car. They may tell you the only one you have is part of the fuel pump.
From my understanding a lot of cars now days just have a fuel filter as part of the fuel pump in the gas tank..
03 I think has been the latest model I have changed a inline filter on. I hope this helps if not sorry for any confusion.
It should be near the carburator. A line that feeds your Carburator comes from the fuel filter area. it has to go through your filter first than to your carburator unless its missing a filter. Just follow the gas line
Starting around 2008 most car companies phased out using inline fuel filters to save money on parts. The only fuel filter for your car is part of the pump in the gas tank.
Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. You may want to try a fuel cleaner and changing the fuel filter first if you haven't already. Check for any codes that may have came up if the check engine light is on. Check all your fuel lines and gas tank again. You may have a bad fuel injector so check them for sure. If one is leaking, fuel can be smelled. A simple tune up can help your gas mileage, as well as the cleaner. Check around the fuel filter for loose hoses. If you can access the fuel pump from your back seat, check in that area also. Check the engine block for leaks. Remember, if it is leaking there, the gas will evaporate before you notice leaking spots. Check all your lines behind the engine block and at the firewall. Are your rpm's jumping any? High idle? The throttle may need adjusted. You may be getting rich fuel as well. Check your catylactic convertor. There may be a leak around the fuel pump so that is an option also. If it is not in the back seat, you will have to pull the tank to check it though.
on 91 Aerostars there was a fuel pump relay on the drivers side that was causing the problem similar to yours and this is how I fixed it:
replace the fuel pump relay on the driver side under the hood
