Where is the fuel filter located in the Fit?

The fuel filter in the Fit is located beneath the handbrake. You'll need to remove the center console box to access it. You can also check the chassis area; if it's not there, then it's inside the fuel tank. The fuel filter, abbreviated as 'fuel filter', is a crucial component of the engine. Its primary function is to filter out impurities from the gasoline. The Fit is a hatchback model launched by GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4065mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2530mm. In terms of power, the Fit is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine across all variants, with the engine code being L15B3.
I was also curious about this when I drove a Fit before, so I specifically asked the mechanic during maintenance. The Fit's fuel filter is built-in, installed inside the fuel tank and integrated with the fuel pump. To locate it, you need to first remove the rear seat or the cover panel in the trunk, then take out the entire fuel pump assembly to see it. The advantage of this design is that it reduces the length of the fuel line and prevents fuel evaporation and leakage, but the downside is that it's particularly troublesome to replace it yourself, and most people can't handle it. I recommend checking it every 40,000 kilometers. If you smell gasoline when refueling or notice weakened power, it might be a sign that the filter is clogged, and you should go to a repair shop immediately. Don't try to save money by doing it yourself.
