Fuel Filter Confusion
OK...
I think i need to replace my fuel filter with 75K miles on my 98 C5, but i'm a little confused. I search online and find a couple sites showing a 2 in / 1 out filter:
http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/sho...il.cfm?id=1663
http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.135.3065
But I call Chevy parts and they say it's 1 in / 1 out, also Oreilies show's 1 in / 1 out (others don't have it in their system).
Is there 2 different filters on the C5? I thought there were 2 pumps for both sides of the car, thus using a 2 in / 1 out filter. Each year different?
i should just raise the car and look, but i'm being lazy today. Thanks

In my 98 the fuel filter is near the driver rear wheel well (under the car)
There is only one that i can see
later models have a different filter.
The one on the WCC site is the right one if the price is $18.99 then they will send you the 1 in 1 out the later one is more $$$$$

1999 and up have a 2 in 1 out because the fuel pressure regulator is part of the fuel filter,has nothing to do with the amount of pumps....1997-98 is a 1 in 1 out because the fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel rail under the hood.
