Fuel filter location

[miggs.03.term8r]

I have a 03 cobra with a 2.3 whipple cobra and a return less fuel system. I have chased the fuel lines and followed it along the undercarriage and I can't seem to locate a fuel filter. Does anybody know where a common location is where the fuel filter would be mounted on a return less fuel setup? Any help would be appreciated.

The Cobra uses a returless set up stock. Here is a how to with pics showing where it is: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/how-230/260804-fuel-filter-change-writeup-13-pics.html

Make sure you take the pressure off the line, or prepare to take a gas bath. Ask me how I know, lol.

yes I'm aware of that but I purchased my cobra with E85 fuel setup and I can't find the fuel filter. I know stock is placed above IRS and my mine don't have it there. So I'm curious where it might be placed. Thank you.

Is it the stock fuel lines? If so it can only be above the irs. If not it can be anywhere on the line including if they wanted to put it up above the fuel tank making you have to drop the tank down to see it.

That would blow. The factory location already is a pita, why would they put it in a even harder place to access. I would've relocated it to an easily accessible spot.

Sounds like you may not have one at all.

I'm sure there's one somewhere. Have you checked the front fenders behind the plastic guard?
You stated E85..... No aftermarket fuel lines noticeable I assume :shrug:

I think your right followed the lines from the tank to the front and found nothing. Can it be inside the actual gas tank?

Yesterday me & my buddy dropped the tank and found no filter. The lines run down the firewall to the undercarriage and no sign of a filter. We checked above the IRS and found nothing either.

Wow that's stupid

I know right. lol

Unlikely in an aftermarket situation. I see above you already dropped the tank and checked. I'd get one installed ASAP and if it's not a major PITA pull your injectors and make sure the tiny screen on the top of each one is not clogged. They sell replacements if you have to replace them.

Yeah my first experience with fuel injection was a straight shot to the face in the eyes, nose, and mouth. I was in the parking lot of a Casey's and I went running into the store ( how I was able to see my way in I don't know) but I made it to the bathroom and started flushing my face with water. I actually thought I might die! I swallowed it and everything.
The dude at the counter was freaking and called EMS. Thank god I made it through that one. It won't happen again after a lesson like that. lol

I had a similar experience after I bought my car. First time at the track, and pop. Blew my frps. Took it off, and was shot right in the eye with a stream of gas. Boy did it burn!

Malcolm you remember that? Had a spare frps for me and all. :beer:

Oh yeah man. How could I forgot. I felt so bad for you, took it straight in the face and it looked like it blasted with some good force too.
