Certainly! Your 2008 Chevrolet Impala is equipped with a fuel filter that is integrated into the fuel pump module inside the tank. This component is generally not designed to be serviced separately. If a mechanic needs to replace the filter as recommended by GM, the estimated cost is around $125, covering both the part and labor. Signs that the fuel filter might be deteriorating include issues such as diminished engine performance, difficulty starting, engine stalling, rough idling, occasional misfiring, and potential fuel system malfunctions that could trigger the check engine light on your dashboard.

could you disconnect the line going into the engine and use an air compressor with a small spray nozzle to blow air back through the line to help the filter work until you can afford to replace the whole pump? Essentially, it would be a temporary solution. Would that work well enough?

Gavin is right, there is indeed a fuel filter situated in the gas tank, but it's not something you typically need to replace as part of regular maintenance. Typically, you would get a new filter when you replace the pump.
