fuel filter
 

it really kills me that people say that the fuel filter is under the seat cushion and some people tell me to remove the gas tank.... can someone give me an actual fuel filter location and how to get to it please!?

RE: fuel filter
 

Both are correct. It is in the fuel tank, which is accessed by removing the rear seat, then removing a panel to reveal the top of the fuel tank. You need to remove the fuel pump from the tank to get to the filter, which is integral to the pump. I am not familiar with the Accent as much as the Elantra.... email me through my profile if you want a link to directions for the Elantra (I bet Accent is very similar).
