Change fuel filter- 2010 Platinum

Surprised the search came up empty- want to do preventive maintenance on a 2010 Platinum with 50K miles. With the crappy gas these days (and ethanol) figured it is overdue.
Hopefully it is an in-line filter somewhere and not in the tank?

TIA.

Most vehicles these days have a unserviceable screen inside the tank.

fuel filter is in the tank and is not considered a serviceable item.

Fuel tanks are plastic which means no rust. The gas lines are rubber and stainless, no rust. I don't agree with all of the no maintenance items that are built into our vehicles today but I do see the point of no fuel filter.

If or when the fuel pump fails, the screen will be replaced then.

Excerpted from the 2010 F-150 owner's manual .....
FUEL FILTER

Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed.
.

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?
