Default fuel filter location?

Can anyone tell me exactly where the fuel filter is located? Im going to change it and I dont have alot of time to do it, so I want to waste as little time as possible.

Also, how hard is it to replace?

It is located on the drivers side of the car about 1.5 feet ahead of the rear tire. It is a silver thing with one line in, and one line out. It is not hard to change, just make sure you dont twist the lines. Also make sure your face isnt underneath it when you pull the lines off, or youll end up with gas in your mouth/eyes.

the haynes manual says your supposed to disconnect the battery before you do anythign to a car. But you should relive the pressure in the lines. i think there is a schrader valve on the back of the drivers side fuel rail that you can release the pressure with. Um, other than that, make sure you use 2 wrenches so you dont twist the lines, also secure the car on jack stands so it doesnt fall on you, i think that would ruin your day. lol seriously though its easy, about a 10 min job.
