I can’t find the fuel filter underneath the car on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel where I was told it is located.

Good evening,

It is located in the rear of the car. It is on the right rear just ahead of the wheel along the frame. I attached a picture for you to view. I circled the filter.

This drawing is not the best, but this appears to where you stated. I would suggest following the fuel lines from the tank up the rail and you will run into the filter.

Let me know what you find.
