Default Where is the Fuel Filter?

My friend asked me where it was on his and I didn't know.
Like to so I could replace mine.
I know what it looks like and I'll be putting it up this weekend and figured I'd replace it while I had it in the air.

Thanks

On my 98 it was clipped to the upper side of the tunnel, near the top-left(passenger) side of the transmission.

My 97 is up in front of the rear wheel on driver side. Fairly easy to see when the car is on the lift.

On my 2000, its on the drivers side next to the transmission. It takes a special tool to remove the clip.
Patches posted to a thread a few weeks ago how to remove. want to send him a PM.

Here's a pic of the fuel line removal tool.


The filter on this '98 is just above the blue connector in this pic.


Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe the filter was moved to the fuel tank sometime in the 2003 MY.

Once again the forum triumphs.
I certainly appreciate it.
Now off to find the tool.

Thanks again. Now I know where to look.
