No, it is combined with the fuel filter.

I've had a theory about mounting semi tractor style, see thru, water and fuel filters on the frame rail between tank and engine to free the hi$ stock filter from maintenance. Initial searches at NAPA, they have them, show its not a cheap way to go and there could be a needed fuel/filter heating issue at the fuel filter. Just a theory at this point.
