'97 Continental Fuel Filter location?

[jrhartman]

Can anyone tell me exactly where to find the fuel filter? If you could post a pic, it would be even better.

Thanks in advance

I assume it is the same as the 98...it is on the passenger side of the car, next to the frame rails on the underside of the car. It is not in the engine compartment. Mine is almost between the front door and the rear door.

well I bought the Filter and the line removal tool today. I plan on attacking this on Sunday afternoon. Thank goodness for heated garages with heated floors.

Well, I changed the Fuel Filter last night. I couldn't figure out how to work the tool that I bought, but I got the clips off anyway without a problem. The total job took me 10 minutes from start to finish. Car runs 1000x better with the new filter.

Thanks again for all the info/pics.
