Its on the inside of the frame rail buy the fuel tank

REMOVAL

1. With engine OFF, relieve the fuel system pressure, refer to the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure. See: Fuel Pressure Release > Service and Repair

2. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.

3. Remove the push connect fittings from both ends of the filter.

4. Remove the fuel filter and retainer from the metal bracket by removing the two retaining bolts.

5. Remove the filter from the retainer. Note the direction of the flow arrow.

6. Remove the rubber insulator rings from the filter.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the rubber insulator rings on the new filter. If the filter moves freely in the retainer, replace the insulator rings.

2. Place the filter in the retainer with the arrow pointing out of the open end of the retainer.

3. Install the fuel filter retainer on the metal bracket and tighten the bolts to 9-12 Nm (80-106 lb in).

4. Install the push connect fittings onto the filter ends.

5. Cycle ignition switch from OFF to RUN position several times, without starting engine. Check for fuel leaks.

6. Lower vehicle.

Engine Performance problem
2000 Ford Crown Victoria V8 Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 102, 00 miles

Let it get low on gas, fuel light came on, right before turning in for gas, it started missing out. Filled it up, and when get to 30 to about 50 still cutting out. Where would the fuel filter be located. I am sure this is the problem as it started doing this when it was low on fuel. Thank you.
