Your filter is in your gas tank.

I presume you mean here?
This is what I bought........
And here is where it should be on my car.....Right?
As TEXHAWKO pointed out, I am apparently one of the lucky ones....
So now what????
How do I get in to get the filter if it's in the tank?

..... Turns out I may have to be in there anyway (the tank).
I have been hearing a high pitched sound comming from that area and believe it may be the pump.....
See more on this in this thread:

You have to pull the left side fuel tank out to get to the filter.

Is that where the pump is too?
And I take it that is a different filter............probably 3 times as much as it is some sort of dealer only special order........

I have not actually replaced the filter on my 04, but I think it is part of the fuel pump assembly. According to GM, they should last 100,000 miles!
To remove the tank, you have to remove the muffler, a drive line support, the crossover between the two tanks, and all the lines.
It is not really a routine maintenance item anymore.

A fuel filter that has a service interval of 100K miles? Not that I haven't run one that long... Mine is an 02 and the filter is right where it should be and I have the part u4ick posted. Mine is getting swapped at 40K along with the plugs, whether GM says they are good for a 100K or not...
That said we just rebuilt the top end of the engine on my wife's Monte Carlo with a 3.4L. 148K on it. I replaced the original fuel filter and plugs during the overhaul. The car never actually ran bad. Well until the intake manifold pissed coolant all over the place.
