This video was so relaxing to watch.

Wow this is amazing
I can tell people won't do this cause of the fear of the gas exploding 😂

Drivers side in the states, there is no flap in the carpet. You have to remove the larger side of middle seats(heavy). Then separate the carpet just before the back seating pull it up and towards front of vehicle, you will find access panel there(not sure what’s under the panel with the carpet cut but it’s for sure not the fuel pump, a return I believe) when you put the carpet back down you can tuck it under the panels using a skinny putty knife or something like it fairly easily. To remove the plastic trim I bent one of the wifes butter knives 90* about a half inch from the tip to make a pry tool, they pop right off from the sides.

Hi there, Great Video. Is the filter located in the Tank with the fuel pump on a 3.5L V6 Petrol 2003 Kia Sorento? Or is it elsewhere? i can't find any info online and my Haynes manual has nothing listed. Thank you

Out of curiosity, what was the problem that required the fuel filter replacement? What was the symptom that led to this diagnosis? Thanks.

[@carfix1993]

No any symptoms

@carfix1993 for mine, it is that I get a rough idle after it heats up while in traffic, you know, waiting on the light to change. I'll try to follow up if this is a fix for me but also needs to be changed at least every 200,000 MI. I have been blessed on this vehicle due to the fact that they sometimes lock up on the highway. Engine wise that is. This is one of those babies that if you don't maintain them, they'll abuse you back!

To remove and to replace the white plastic fuel filter with the fuel pump loctated in the middle of it, he showes many components removal and put them back after the white round plactic fuel filter is replaced. This is not an easy job. I would rather replace the whole fuel pump- filter unit with a new unit.

[@jovemed1221]

My wallet says just the filter is fine 😂

[@shiburashi]

Where did you get the filter without having to get the whole pump assembly?

[@carfix1993]

Local dealer

[@shidukirider]

@@carfix1993do you have a part number?

[@Jinxo-md2jl]

What is that tool called to remove it

[@carfix1993]

Sender wrench

[@flytechbass1979]

I would just replace all of it

[@jameslittle2882]

Wow.... could they make it more complex...bad design

[@realBokidwell]

Why does that look more like the drivers side?

[@gabrieln611]

Because it is, the other side, passenger side, contains the fuel gauge sender. Kind of was pulling my hair out on this one.!

[@gabrieln611]

Additionally, on my model, I have to remove the seat and uproot the carpet

[@mohammadessmat9499]

Clean it by vacum cleaner at least !!!!!

[@BrianTozer]

That's a big NO for me. If I take that out, I would replace all of it. I'd rather pay someone to do this.

[@j2thec472]

Me too. I was thinking the same thing. That’s not a job for me either…😂

[@evanhorne1464]

This is a fuel pump, not a fuel filter

[@grizzlyrig]

On this model he is indeed showing you how to disassemble the fuel pump module to replace the fuel filter. This video is accurate.

[@user-vf9jr9bh5d]

hey.....thankya...

[@michaellongfoot637]

Fuel pump!

[@humplucker2445]

Not something I would do myself..... All it takes is a little spark and it's over.

[@nikluv21]

That's why you unplug the negative part of the battery if you are going to do work.
