Q: 2009 chevy malibu is the fuel filter above the fuel tank because i have looked every place but there
fuel filter is it above fuel tank because i have looked every place but above fuel tank
My car has 50000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
The fuel system does not have a fuel filter but only a fuel strainer on the bottom of the fuel pump. If there is a problem with plugged fuel system then replace strainer.
Hi Michael. Thanks for writing back. After doing some additional research, I’ve learned something new - there is no replaceable fuel filter on the 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. Most GM’s prior to 2006 had a fuel filter located under the fuel tank, but this was removed. The only filter is a rock screen actually inside the fuel tank.

Hi i have a question regarding my car. a few weeks ago it over heated and there was smoke and the coolant spilled. i took it over to a repair shop and they replaced the fan but the problem wasn’t solved. i then took it to my mechanic who later told me there was a leak, so he had changed the water pump and thermostat. my car was fine for about a week then one day i drove somewhere a bit far almost 35-40 min away from home and back and my car started getting hot. it did not get to the red line was it was pretty close. i don’t know what the problem could be now
