In the fuel tank and is part of the pump, Only due to be changed at 144k by Renault.
Given the mileage on mine (130k) this will be one of the jobs I contemplate doing.
Any further information on this? Is there anything that can be done other than replacing the whole sender unit and seal?

The fuel filter in in the pump and its one complete unit inside the tank.

Yes you need to spend that.
The fuel filter is part of the pump which is in the tank and is a lifetime fuel filter.
I would only change it if needed IMO.
The other thing you need to watch is if you unscrew the seal with fuel in the tank it can implode on itself and the tank can suck itself in.
Only change the filter / pump when tank has a minimum amount of fuel.
Ok thanks again for expanding on the subject.
Blimey ! that reminds me of my rs3 when they had ‘lifetime’ transmission oil , and then it would break at 100k. Seems like Renault just set the mileage that high so the cars would be out of warranty..
Has anyone removed the gubbins and fitted an external one on the fuel pipe ?
