fuel filter

I have did a search for this question and find nothing. On a 2010 F-150 5.4 litre gas engine I see in the owners manual where they recommend various changes of things but do not see where they ever say to replace a fuel filter? Is is because they do not have a fuel filter or is it maybe in the gas tank with the fuel pump?

Thanks,
Wayne

It's a large filter in the tank... supposedly good for a "lifetime" - but they don't seem to define lifetime...

I assume

I assume it could be changed or I wonder if it is part of the fuel pump/sending unit assembly, meaning one can only change it all? Like the fuel pump in Chevy truck tank- fuel pump and sending unit are all one assembly.

Where did I ever say that? I'd much prefer to have a fuel filter outside the tank like the old style... and I'd prefer to have a tranny dipstick.

He told you the filter is in the tank... it does not require regular servicing.
