The fuel filter is usually located inside the fuel tank, attached to the fuel line. To access it, you will need to first drain the fuel tank and remove it from the trimmer. Once you have the tank removed, you can disconnect the fuel line from the carburetor and use pliers or a fuel line removal tool to remove the filter from the end of the fuel line.
It's important to replace the fuel filter periodically, especially if you notice any signs of poor engine performance or difficulty starting the engine. Replacing the fuel filter is a relatively easy and inexpensive maintenance task that can help extend the life of your trimmer's engine.

The fuel filter on the TB280ES trimmer is located in the fuel tank. It is attached to the fuel line that runs from the carburetor to the fuel tank. To access the fuel filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the engine and allow it to cooldown.
2. Remove the fuel cap from the fuel tank.
3. Locate the fuel line, which runs from the carburetor down into the fuel tank.
A. Use a pair of pliers to gently remove the fuel line from the fuel tank. Be careful not to damage the line or the filter.
5. Pull the fuel filter out of the fuel tank and inspect it for any signs of damage or clogging.
6. Clean or replace the fuel filter as needed
7. Reattach the fuel line to the fuel tank and tighten any clamps or connectors.
8. Put the fuel cap back on and start the engine to test for proper operation. It is recommended to replace the fuel filter at least once every season or if there are signs ofdamage or clogging.

- Turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely.
- Empty the fuel tank and disconnect the spark plug wire.
- Remove the fuel tank cap and clean around the fuel tank opening to prevent any debris from falling into the tank.
- Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the fuel filter out of the fuel tank.
- Install a new fuel filter into the fuel tank, making sure it is properly seated.
- Reconnect the spark plug wire, fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel, and reinstall the fuel tank cap.
- Start the engine and check for fuel leaks.
It's important to replace the fuel filter regularly, as a clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run poorly or not start at all.
