The fuel filter in a 2015 Ford Escape can be found underneath the vehicle near the fuel tank. You'll need to lift the rear of the car using a jack to reach it. It's recommended to replace the fuel filter every 40,000 to 80,000 miles. Keep an eye out for signs of a fuel filter issue, such as difficulty starting the engine, failure to start, rough idling, or struggling to accelerate in city driving, which could indicate a partially clogged filter. A dirty filter can contaminate your fuel with various debris, like dirt and paint chips, so it's crucial for protecting your fuel pump and injectors while maximizing fuel efficiency.
This 2015 Ford Escape has all-wheel drive and a four-cylinder engine. I'm being told at the car parts store that the fuel pump is located inside the gas tank - where can I find it?
Is the fuel filter located inside the tank or on the exterior of the tank?
Please demonstrate the location of the fuel filter to me on video. Thank you.

There is no separate filter, just the purge tank where the filter is housed within the fuel tank.
