I've just discovered that there is no fuel filter in my 3.0 except into the tank

May I'm wrong ? I hope

AFAIK the only filter is in the tank

Can you tell us why you think this is nuts? I don't quite get it.

The fuel filter for Liberties has been in the tank for many models (years)?

Most modern cars only have a filters in the tank. External filters seem to be a thing of the past.

well for me each filter have to be change few time during life car; my VW TDI have one and it is not an old car.

Gasoline is totally pure ?

It's still changeable, it's just in the tank.

Should be written as

I agree that it should be changed. But honestly it's not that hard to do from within the tank.

Just a bit more messy.

I would much rather prefer it in a more accessible area such as in the back under the wheel arch area such as on my old VW. Or even in the engine bay, where subaru used to have it.

Wonder why they changed it anyway.

Be happy you don't have to drop the bloody tank to replace it haha

Your comparing a VW turbo diesel to a Subaru NA petrol which are completely different. Diesel fuel filters need to be changed more frequent then petrol filters due to contamination, water etc to prevent damage to the system. And the benefit of in-tank fuel filters is long service life and better filtration.

+1 to that, I can go one better. Be happy its not a module unit.

Correction: There is TWO fuel filters in the tank. One pre pump filter and one post pump filter

Billy's burn ftw

well tank filter is maybe not a bad idea for gasoline but when the car have more than 150 000 miles then maybe yes ?
