Finding a gas filter varies with the model.....most have them right after the gas tank while I have seen some right in the engine compartment......those on the exterior are round and are metallic while ones in engine compartment are clear glass or plastic.....
Follow gas tank lines underside of body till you see a cylinder about 2-3 inches in diameter....should have line in and out....newer models have 3 lines attached for vacuum.
Some people will "guesstimate" on when to change a fuel filter.
To achieve good gas mileage and keep dirt out of fuel system...call the professionals or check online for your model/year car....sorry I have no websites at this time but they are out there. just type in search "fuel system maintenance"....go from there. In 10 minutes you will have an answer or in a half hour exactly what you need.....save the sites to your favorites for future reference even if it's spark plug gap.

left side under the car coming from fuel tank follow fuel lines until you see cylinder type canister that has a line going in and coming out . take clips off each end of canister-canister is fuel filter.pull lines off filter there will be a clamp holding fuel filter. loosen clamp until fuel filter comes out.blow in one end of filter if it is hard to blow through filter is plugged.if blows easy filter is fine.

alot of vehicles have a fuel filter inside the frame, sometimes where the drivers door is. follow the gas line from the tank and you may find it easy..should be replaced about 30,000 miles..good luck
