the fuel filter is under the car just in front of the tank, held by a clamp secured by a single small torx screw. Not sure how the unions come undone, they appear to be some renault special. these filters are often neglected and do corrode due to salt ect as they are just light gauge aluminium. Good luck: Dantaxi.
