If you go here http://hmaservice.com/webtech/ and choose your car @ the top left area, then click shop, itll load the bible on your car laugh.gif Just goto Fuel System category, then Fuel Delivery System, and Fuel Filter Replacement .. laugh.gif


*EDIT* If you want a DIY, ill make one up, as i need to replace my filter too, probably this weekend..

The filter is an easy job, just undo the fittings and remove and replace with the new 1. Have a look at the new one before you start so you know what goes where.
Big warning though, be sure to cover the top of the filter with a rag before diconecting the fitting from the top of the filter, as it is a pressurised system and the fuel inside the filter will be under pressure even though the pump is not going. You do not want to get a face full of fuel.
If you want to see pics, go to webtech. There isn't much on there telling you how to do it though, probably bc it's not hard to figure out.

At the rear of the engine bay, on side wall to the right as you look at it from the front of the car (gear box end). Follow the metal pipe from the fuel rail.

Easy job? Mine was a b!tch! Changing my brake lines was a lot easier (if more work) than changing the fuel filter. The space is really tight, and I had to get my neighbour (who has smaller hands than me) to help me change it.

It's easy as long as it isn't locked in there. I had to get mine done at a shop, I was afraid I was going to crack the fuel lines trying to get it loose.

use wd-40 about 6hours beforehand and drench the connections, for some reason Hyundai has them real tight.
it will save your knuckles.
