This vehicle does not have an external filter as it is part of the fuel pump assembly.

Please see the attached document below for the detail on this.

If you are not getting fuel then we need to assume that we have no pressure from the pump. It is always good to confirm this with checking the pressure but if you have confirmed there is no fuel at the rail then you clearly have no pressure either.

At that point, we need to listen to hear if the pump is coming on when you turn the key. If you can hear the pump then we know if it is getting power which means the pump most likely needs to be replaced. I attached the process from the manual below for this as well.

Please review this material and let me know what questions you have.
