Fuel Filter

where is the Fuel Filter located on my XLR???

Found this online. Don’t know if it’s the exact placement but worth a try

Hello. it should be located under your car on a line that's coming off your fuel tank and yes you can do this your self very easy to do ,you'll need a few box/open ended wrenches that's it you'll need to check the fitting or the nut on each side of the filter to see what the sizes are,befor removing the filter you'll want to take off your gas cap and remove your neg battery cable ,not when you find the filter it'll have nut on each side all you have to do it loosen them but make sure that you don't break the fuel line or kink it and after you have both sides loose then just finish turning them off and there you go the filter is off, nope no removing the gas tank some newer models you do and the filter is attached to your fuel pump and don't need replaced but for your car and year you wont need to remove the tank. good luck
Or

Under vehicle, driver side, below seating area, front of fuel tank, mounted on chassis in fuel lin.

Starting in 2005 all vehicles including C6 Corvette and XLR have a return-less fuel system due to vapor emissions and have a non serviceable fuel filter. The filter will last until the fuel pump goes bad. I had a Jeep TJ that had 147000 miles on it and same fuel pump. I know the person that bought it from me and she is still driving it on original pump.
 
Schematic. #17 is the fuel filter
