Fuel filter location?

Truck is a 2012 f-550 v-10. Followed the fuel lines and checked along the frame but can’t seem to find anything.

It's a lifetime filter in the tank. Replace it when the pump dies.

Ford's have not had serviceable fuel filters on any of their vehicles since model years 2009 and newer.

First time ford owner here. GM before this. Surprising, any issues with this design?

The reason I initially posted is because I’m getting a puttering noise from the tail pipe and a slight shake in the cab that doesn’t feel normal. Also feels like it doesn’t have much pick up, but maybe that’s just a v-10? Was thinking a potentially dirty fuel filter would be a good place to start and would probably need service anyway. Just got the truck used with a brand new engine under warranty in it. Any ideas?

Checking for diagnostic trouble codes would be a start.
