According to my info there is no servicable fuel filter.
We have the Government greenies to thank for this unfortunate fact. They didn't want people potentially spilling gasoline and releasing the vapors into the environment so they made the OEMs do away with serviceable fuel filters.
It makes for planned obsolesence for the fuel pump. As soon as the filter sock on the bottom of the pump gets completely full, fuel flow gets decreased, causing higher amperage draw on the pump trying to get the fuel flow needed to supply the engine, eventually burning it up.
