Default Fuel filter location

Stupid question I guess. I recently picked up an 04 Z06 and I'm having a couple issues. I was going to change the fuel filter. Car is on a lift and I don't see it! I crawled under my 02 Z06 and I see it just fine. Did they move it in 04? Is it internal in the fuel tank?

Here is a link about the new (FFS) fuel system :

Unlike the earlier years you MUST drop the tanks to access anything that is inside them.
Just another engineering marvel on the C5 from GM.

You have to remember, the manufacturer is always driven by production costs. Combining the pump/filter/etc. into one unit reduces assembly work - and that's what (all?) they care about.
