You should be able to quickly check if it IS in the tank.
There will be an access plate in the rear floor to get service/repair access to the gauge sender and fuel lines. Usually a couple of sheetmetal screws or setscrews keeping a shaped piece of time down. Easily visible under the rear floor mats.
Lift the inspection cover and if you still can't see it, twist the fuel gauge sender unit a quarter turn anti-clockwise and lift the whole deal 'till yu can see under it. If the filter's there, you'll see it I think.
Hope this helps.

Found it! FYI for those who like to do their own maintenance. The filter on a '03 Mountaineer is on the passenger side behind a shield and attached to the front side of the fuel tank, not the frame rail. I was about to give up when my light shined on the end of the canister. Another FYI, the filter is a 2 lines in and 1 line out type (4.6 V8 anyway, I'm not sure about the V6).
