Hi fuel filter location on a fiat strada 1.2 petrol, and is it viable or it it covered by a plate or something? Thanks

Some cars, especially Fiat, have a lifetime filter in the fuel tank. The best way to discover whether that applies to your car is to attempt to buy a replacement filter - if one is handed to you over the counter you will know what you are looking for. The aftermarket doesn't usually supply the lifetime version...
