The fuel filter for a 2006 Honda Element is located in the fuel pump assembly in the gas tank. Honda has designated this filter as a non-replaceable part, as it is expected to last the lifetime of the SUV. When replacing the fuel filter, the fuel pump will likely need to be removed. Using the correct octane level of unleaded gas should prevent any issues with the filter, but using low-quality gasoline can lead to problems. Replacement fuel filters can be purchased for $15 to $25 at most auto parts stores. However, if you take it to a mechanic, the cost can range from $300 to $500 due to the labor involved.
You don't need to remove the fuel tank in order to replace the pump in a Honda Element. There's an access panel located behind the driver's seat that allows for easy replacement.
The fuel filter can be found inside the gas tank, requiring you to take out the tank from the vehicle in order to access it.
