Yes. Attached to the bottom of the fuel pump in the bottom of the sender unit in the tank. It is a flat plastic mesh filter.

I've been pondering this question lately-apparently a non-servicable item. One less thing to do, but will probably limit the life of the fuel pump to 150K if I'm lucky.

not if you buy clean fuel to begin with. its pretty reliable. my uncle has a camry with 250k on his n it's been through oil changes only.

How do you know you are putting in clean fuel? Do you test it before you put it into your tank?

you buy chevron or shell gas only.... and not look for the cheapest gas in the city. Chevron & shell cost a few cents per gallon more than most others... but are generally regarded as the best among many groups... including hypermilers.
I have never had an injector or carbon build-up issue on any vehicle i've used chevron in (same with my grandpa... and he's been driving for over 50years).... At the very least.... run chevron or shell every other tank... that way you can use the cheap stuff, and then help clean it out with the good gas with techron.

There's definitely not one outside of the tank. The filter is attached to the bottom (intake) of the fuel pump.

that's your air filter in EVAP system, nothing to do about it.
no servicable gas filter equipped.

I believe all gas comes from the same tank basically. All the tanker trucks get gas at the same "rack" and only difference is the name on the truck.

I agree on using Chevron from personal experience. Used costco gas for over a year on a few different vehicles and ended up with several fuel related problems in both vehicles. I thought it was just bad luck till the mechanic found out where I bought my fuel and advised me of the trouble he had seen with other peoples cars who bought there fuel at the cheapest places possible. I since went back to Chevron only and no fuel related problems what-so-ever.
