fuel filter?

HAve just purchased a 98 metro hatchback manua transmission. Can hear the fuel pump when ignition switch turned. will run good for a bit then dies. brother thinks fuel filter---where is the fuel filter?

thanx.....shari

drivers side rear. Above the rear control arm, tucked next to the gas tank. Pain in the butt, good luck :)

CAn't find the fuel filter. Bought a reapir manual; not where it shows. Dropped the tank but don't see it. HELP!

Maybe the person who had the car before you was running it without a filter. Stranger things have happened..

If it was run without a filter, your fuel injector is probably plugged good now. (sux) I'd get a fuel filter for it, and see if you can replace the injector. Maybe run some injector cleaner through it first, just to see if it will clear up.
