Fuel Filter

Where is the fuel filter located on a 99 Miata? I haven't been able to locate a shop manual locally so I'm a little in the dark. Thanks.


The high-presasure filter is underneath, in front of the rear axle (passenger side). There's a plastic cover over it.

There is also a "low-pressure" filter/strainer in the tank on the pick-up tube--you don't generally have to concern yourself with that one unless you've gotten some contaminated fuel, or rust in the tank, or something like that.
