Disconnect the negative battery cable and raise the vehicle. Support the fuel tank with a transmission jack. Locate the fuel filter on the top of your Dodge Caravan fuel tank.
Take the fuel line out from the front of the tank and then remove the ground strap. Next, remove the inboard side of the fuel tank straps and front T-strap fastener. Lower the tank about 6 inches.
Detach the fuel lines from the fuel pump module and then remove the fuel filter. Put the new filter in place. Tighten the fuel filter bolts to 40 inch pounds.

Put on the ground strap and connect the fuel line in the front of the tank. Start the engine of your Dodge Caravan and check for leaks.
