I think the filter is near or in the actual gas tank. I have 25K miles so haven't thought of this item yet.

unless they changed everything since gen2- the filter is a sock that goes around the pickup inside the tank
Its not cleanable and only replaced if some major malfunction
Run a bottle of good fuel cleaner like redline thru 1/2 tank of gas to clean all the parts

like I said- not really made to be serviced- only if there is a documented problem and it split open or something and allowed crud into fuel pump causing its failure
Then you would need to replace it
