★ Top Answer
The fuel filter in the 2016 Jeep Patriot is integrated into the fuel pump inside the gas tank and cannot be changed separately. To replace it, you will have to swap out the entire assembly by lowering the fuel tank and accessing it through the top service port. The filter Jeep uses is designed to have a longer lifespan than the pump itself, so the pump will likely not need maintenance for the life of the vehicle.

You can avoid dropping the tank! Instead, take out the lower rear seat and locate a 4-inch round plastic plug on the driver's side floor. This plug will provide complete access to the unit, and it will only take about 30 minutes to complete the job without the hassle of removing the tank or going under the car.
