No fuel filter, why do they sell one?

Fuel Filter | 2000 Land Rover Discovery II 8 Cylinders 5 4.0L MFI | AutoZone.com
I mean, why is it even there if it isn't on the vehicle to change?

Or am I missing the in-line filter?

Rover parts stores are selling them, too. How can I change this?

Disco 2 does not have an inline fuel filter, the filter is built into the fuel pump. It is a non replaceable filter, you have to replace the fuel pump with the filter.

Cool, glad you confirmed that. Just weird that they offer filters like that.

correct. don't trust those generic parts websites. you need to know what you're looking for before looking otherwise they will sell you all sorts of crap that doesn't fit.
