Default 2003 Fuel Filter Replacement

Help I have a 2003 convertible that I purchased a replacement fuel filter for. I can't locate it on the car..All the info I've been able to locate says it is located in front of the drivers side wheel. Mine is a six speed so it easy to see around the transmission..still unable to locate. Any help would be appreciated

The fuel filter is located on the inside of the driver's side frame rail, just forward of the fuel tanks. So it should be just behind (and below) where the driver's seat is.

However, sometime during the 03 model year, the fuel filter was moved from the frame rail to inside the fuel tank. If you can't find yours on the frame rail, it is in the tank and part of the fuel pump assembly - and obviously a major PITA to change out.

The FSS systems fuel filter is good for 100K miles.
