I am new to the forum and want to get help and not sure if I posted in the right section but does my car have 2 fuel filters? I want to know once and for all as I have had conflicting reports.

One filter. It's mounted near the gas tank on the under side of the trunk floor.

Really? That is crazy to have 2 different Mustang owners insist with great conviction there is a second one on the passenger side door underneath. I know about the first one you mentioned. Me and a friend changed it together. After learning there is a second fuel filter we mentioned to another friend it has a second one he immediately said no there is not. I guess he is right?

Do not let those 2 idiots anywhere near your car
Tell them you also changed your blinker fluid and your muffler bearings too.

Add says "each". The photo just shows the profile of the filter from two angles.

I've ripped apart quite a few foxes in my day. The EFI models just have one filter near the tank

The second fuel filter WAS a secret, till now you'r not suppose to tell people about it!
It's like the secret vin number under the passenger seat
Damn, did it again!

Sounds like you need to set up a friendly wager with your two friends to find the second filter. You'll be drinking free beer next weekend.
