I have a 1998 Cherokee Sport w/ 6 cylinder... The shop says the only fuel filter is inside the gas tank and not changed unless there is a problem... I thought there was an in-line somewhere.... Is there an in-line filter or nothing to service?

 

On my 93 there is one on the frame rail driver's side right in front of the tank may be worth checking its bout 4 inches long and 2 inches round

 

nope my dad has a 98 and its the same way.

 

The fuel filter on a 98 is part of the fuel pressure regulator on top of the fuel pump assembly.

 

And these usually are non serviceable and need to be replaced as an entire assembly if I'm not mistaken.

 

thats what my dad was told.

 

Newer xj's have it in the tank. There are several ways to get to it involving taking out the gas tank or cutting into it, but yea I didn't think it was worth it when I was trying to replace mine. Unless you are having horrible gas mileage or some other problem I would just leave it be.

 

Here's a site with Mopar-Jeep OEM parts catalogs in PDF format. Download a copy for future ref. It would of showed you where the filter is. http://www.xjjeeps.com/tech_referenc...section=2&ID=0

 

In the gas tank.

Not replaced unless testing and or symptoms point directly to it...............

 

Never understood why they relocated. One bad tank of gas and you have a nightmare on your hands, <96, u plug and play
