Default '04 C5Z fuel filter

I understand they are an in tank model on this year of Z06.

Are these supposed to be serviced on a regular basis? If so, how the heck would you get to it?

Yes late year 03's and all 04's had an intank fuel filter. They are not servicable, unless you were to drop the tank as far as I know. Unless you were replacing a fuel pump you shouldnt need to replace the filter. GM went to this style filter on other vehicles too, my 08 trailblazer has the same thing. My 03z was an early model year and had the typical external filter.

all '03 and up vehicles have internal, non-serviceable fuel filters. It's an EPA thing..

It was a mid year 03 change. As I said mine was an early year build and has the older style serviceable external filter back near the trans. Mid year 03 they switched to the in tank filters.

Is it something I should change while my entire driveline is out of the car?
