Good question. Haven't even thought of checking mine yet, only 22k miles

 

Quick bit of research, there are 2. One at the bottom of the pump, one in the pump module, both in the gas tank. What a pain. I like the old in line filters that you can stick on anywhere, so much easier

 

would you happen to know the process for changing them? my wrenching skills are basic at best and nothing comes up when I search in google

 

I can look into it. But I would assume it's the same as most fuel pump maintenance. As I have not seen a hatch in the body, and I've removed all my carpet, you'll probably need to drop the tank and pull the module out the top. You can drop a tank with a Jack and basic wrenching skills. I'll look for more info for you

If you don't mind chopping up your tub, I've done this in older vehicles that are all rusty because rusty tank straps don't come off. Otherwise you'll have to drop it.

Go to 7 minute mark they start dropping the tank.

 

It's a lot easier than it looks, especially since the jk has bolts instead of straps. You can do it. Are you by any chance near northern Ohio? If you are I'll come help you

No, sadly im located MD. But none the less thanks for the help! a local jeep specialty shop quoted my about $450 to drop the tank and replace the pump. so if im able to get this done on my own that'd be awesome.

 

Have you checked for codes? JK fuel filters are supposed to last the life of the JK and aren't considered serviceable by Chrysler. You can get aftermarket filters but if you're sure that's what the problem is you're better off replacing the fuel pump module as a unit if you're going to drop the tank. You'll also need to replace the fuel pump lock ring and gasket. The lock rings corrode and if the gasket isn't replaced there will most likely be a fuel leak when the tank is full. I'm not saying that it can't be the filter(s), but it's most likely another issue. You could have a clogged cat, the plugs/wires might need to be replaced,etc., depending upon the mileage.

 

no codes are being thrown, I've had this problem for about 2 months and it started a few days after my jeep ran out of gas on the road. im almost positive that i sucked up some dirt and sediment from the bottom of my tank when it was dry

 

as a temp fix, try some BG44K. I know it worked on my cherokee

what is that? i tried seafoam and Mopar Combustion cleaner, but it didn't fix the problem

 

Hello I have a '07 JKU experiencing this issue. I have now ran into not being able to find where I can buy the filters. Do you happen to know where?
