I have a 2000 Ranger 3.0L FFV engine and I put a new fuel filter in a few days ago. It was on the inside of the frame under the driver's side door. I didn't even have to jack up the truck to swap it out.

My owner's manual calls for a FG-1002 and that is the part number on the old one. I replaced it with a Wix 33652. These filters have two connectors on the input side and one on the output side. It only took a small screw driver to pop the clips off and release the connectors.
