In the 2015 Buick Encore, instead of a traditional fuel filter, there is a strainer attached to the intake of the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. To replace this, you will need to remove the fuel tank, which is a challenging task. The fuel pump itself costs approximately $775, and with labor costs included, you can expect to pay between $900 to $1300 total if it needs to be replaced. Signs that indicate a problem with the fuel pump can include sputtering under load, difficulty starting the engine, or the engine not starting at all. Keep in mind that these symptoms could also be caused by other issues, so it is advisable to check for any diagnostic trouble codes thrown by the ECU before replacing the fuel pump.
The canister filter is located on the top of the engine.
