1997 Dodge Ram 1500, 318 engine. Does it have a fuel filter other than one in the tank with the fuel pump? thanks

NOTE: The fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator is located on top of fuel pump module.

NOTE: Two different types of filter/regulators are used.

* If a rubber grommet is located between the bottom of filter/regulator and top of fuel pump module, it can be serviced separately. Refer to the following procedure.
* If this grommet is not used, it cannot be serviced separately The Fuel Pump Module assembly must be replaced. Refer to Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation for procedures.

WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure, even with engine off. Before servicing the fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator, the fuel system pressure must be released.

TIP: Fuel pump module removal is not necessary.

REMOVAL

1. Drain fuel tank and remove tank.

My 95 doesn't have one to change. At 150,000 the filter broke and I had to remove and clean/replace injectors a few times. So I would do something before you get to that point.

Much obliged, F4F and UT. I appreciate the info.
