Good morning,

It is in the rear of the car by the fuel tank.

I posted the procedure and pictures for you to view.

REMOVAL

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure, refer to Service and Repair / Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure. See: Fuel Pressure Release > Procedures

2. Disconnect negative battery cable.

NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the powertrain control module relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the adaptive strategy.

3. Position a suitable container below the fuel filter to collect any excess fuel that may leak from the filter or lines.
