    Usually located on the passenger side underneath the rear just in front of the wheel. The filter is round, about 5-6 inches long and maybe 3 inches in diameter.
    You should only need a screwdriver, but get a small glass jar to catch any gas that might drip down.
    Referring to the diagram posted:
    The front of the vehicle is to the right.
    #3 in the pic is the filter.
    #4 in the pic is the bracket that holds it in.
    #2 & 6 are the connections to both the filter and the fuel line.
    The new filter should come with directions that remind you to get those plastic clips on correctly.
