Hi, all brother. Somebody can tell me where is the fuel filter location for Optima 2005 I just buy the fuel filter (Iron) from Kia spare part shop. But when I go to replace it at SC. They say my optima no need to change the fuel filter, bcoz the fuel filter (plastic) is inside the fuel tank. It only need to change when this filter have problum. So if my optima don't have fuel filter (outside the fuel tank), why they have this fuel filter for sale? If any body know where is the fuel filter location for 2005 Optima, Can you please let me know. Thank very very... much.

Kito,
From what I know when I change the fuel filter in my optima, it is located in the engine bay. But I cannot remember exactly which part of the engine bay. Nevertheless, I changed it at 40k km as per the manual and the process is simple.
Therefore please change the filter at another service centre, as the SC that you went probably didn;t know what they're talking about.
Or maybe you had wanted them to change the fuel pump. That maybe is in the fuel tank.

Yes, I have go to Ampang SC & Selanyang MPV SC (Kia's Authorize). They look around the engine area, fuel tank area, also follow fuel line... but can't find the fuel filter. Maybe I need go to Kia SC at Selanyang.
For all Kia owner, you can try this website (www.kiatechinfo.com) I have learn a lot of information from this website. You just need to register your email address. It is free.
In this website, you can find all the technical information & troubleshooting.
Because this is a USA's Kia. So choose the Optima 2.4.
In this website also have show how to replace the fuel filter on the Optima. But they don't show the location. Only have illustration. Anybody know where the area on this illustration?
So I have confirm My Optima have the fuel filter outside the tank. ;D

The access to the fuel filter is through the boot..coming in from the boot, located at the furthest end towards the back of the rear seat.. take off the spare tyre cover first of course.. should be able to see.. there's some sort of cover.. take that off and walla it's there.. the SC's should know.. got mine changed during the 40K service.. ;D
