Fuel filter replacement

Idling rough after 33,000 miles, so I picked up a new set of filters. The air was easy, but I can't find the fuel filter, and am too cheap to buy the manual.
Where is it, and are any special tools required to replace it?

The fuel filter should be on the drivers side frame rail near the fuel tank. You will probably need a fuel line disconnect tool to remove it. Most auto parts stores sell them now.

fire240 is exactly right. the filter is about 1 foot infront of the fuel tank on the drivers side by the frame. i just bought the filter then took it to a lube place and they changed it for me in about 5 min. charged me like 15 bucks but i think its worth it so i dont have to worry bout getting the diconnect tool or the fuel mess.

Drivers side on the frame rail follow the fuel line back and you've found it, youll need the quick disconnect tool i recommend the plastic ones that slide in rather than the metal scicssor style one takes about 5 mins to do
