I believe the fuel filter is located in front of the fuel tank and on the passenger side of the vehicle.

The fuel filter is located on the LH frame rail. Here is a video that can help you change it with instructions in the images below to help you further. It is not the same car but it shows how to undo the fuel lines which you need a special tool for.
