1988 f250 help

I'm posting on behalf of a neighbour without internet access or experience. He has a 1988 f250 XL 351 fuel injected.
Wants to change the fuel filter but can't find it! Has looked in manuals and consulted his regular mechanic, but still no luck!
Can anyone help? I'm sure the location will be similar on a number of other vehicles... what do you think?
The manual says it's frame mounted, under the driver's seat but it is not there.

Thank you

I also have a 1988 F250 with a 5.0L and the fuel filter is mounted under the driverside seat on the frame right next to the fuel pump. It looks like a small oil filter.

There's only so many places it can be. Follow the lines out from the tank until you find it.
