Just curious where it is located on a 550, and how often should it be replaced?
Thanks

Googd question, yesterday I was at my dealer and one of the employers said that in 545 its not needed to changing fule filter.

So I was surprised, ! Is it true? I belive that in 550 is this same filter like in 545.

It comes with the fuel pump. I don't think you need to replace it.
