Default Question about a part.

I assume this is the fuel filter, but just want to double check. It is right on top of the exhaust where the axle connection to mufflers is, above transmission. It is leaking fuel on the side facing the engine bay.
Just want to make sure it is the fuel filter.

Thank you for the quick response sir.

Is there a special tool required to remove it?

Yes, but they can be found at any auto store. Not expensive. I can post the info on removal when I get home.
