Default 2004 Fuel Filter

Hi all,

I know there has been some discussion here before on fuel filters and after spending an hour or so looking around under my 04 vert, I believe mine is also one of the integral tank ones. Someone had mentioned once that some 04s had external filters but I guess mine isn't one of them.

Just thought I would share that in case anyone else can use the info.

And by the way, I now have a new WIX filter I bought from Amazon if anyone needs on as their listing showed one for the car. Good price if anyone is interested.

Yep, that's the problem with the internet...just as much information, as misinformation.

No 2004's had external fuel filters...they are all part of the left tank assembly.

If that Wix filter is the correct one for a 2001, I may be interested.

What is the P/N of it?

Weird, so there is no user-serviceable fuel filter on any 2004 Corvette? I thought fuel filters should be changed every so often!?!?
