Fuel Filter Where can I locate the fuel filter on a 1998 Ford Escort Wagon?

Only if they have the same part number on them.

The fuel filter does need to be changed, approximately every 30,000 miles / 24 months, whichever comes first.

might have a fuel filter problem or a fuel pump problem meaning the filter might be clogged or the fuel pump in the gas tank is not pumping check ur fuse box there is a fuse for the fuel pump in there if it if blown replace and then turn car over again. if its ok then it still could be a fuel pump problem check the fuel filter located by the gas tank under the car or take to a local mechanic if u do not want to do it ur self. fuel filter is easy to change very easy.a fuel pump on most cars the gas tank as to be dropped.

It's under the hood on the drivers side. mounted to the firewall on the passenger side of the brake booster.

the fuel filter may be clogged, and not letting fuel through, if not that check the fuel pressure regulator.when vehicle is turned off, you get a delay in building up sufficiant fuel pressure the next time you try to start it. check fuel filter first. then go from there.

The fuel filter is located on the drivers side of the firewall underneath the brake master cylinder. It is easiest to get to it from underneath the car.

it is on the firewall under the hood, here is a picture.

The fuel delivery system uses an electric fuel pump to provide high-pressure fuel to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump is located at the rear of the vehicle, mounted in the fuel tank. It can be accessed by removing the rear seat.

The fuel tubes leading from the fuel tank to the engine are under pressure during vehicle operation. When the engine is turned OFF, the fuel in the fuel tubes remains pressurized for long periods of time to provide quick start-ups. Fuel not used by the fuel injectors during operation is routed back to the fuel tank through the fuel return tube.

The fuel handling components are protected by three fuel filters. A replaceable in-line fuel filter is located inside the engine compartment between the fuel tank and fuel injection supply manifold. A serviceable filter screen is located inside the fuel tank at the fuel pump inlet. A non-serviceable filter screen is incorporated into each fuel injector.
