Where is the fuel filter on an '03 V8?

so you pulled all the plugs and they look good. how long have you owned the vehicle? I have never pulled all my plugs without replacing them with new ones. this is weird. I am going to the corner with my dunce cap. I must be an idiot for even trying to help on this thead

Sorry guys:

For not using the search
For exessive use of brevity (no model)
For not updating my profile

I do enjoy these forums, I am on several, for a lot of new and some very old vehicles I own. I really do apologize, had I not been rushing, I would have made this a much better post for all.

These filters never seem to get changed , maybe becasue they seem like a pain but once you do it once it is pretty easy. also hit the filter with some rust penatrotor before removing it.
