One of the parts stores – Autozone I think – has some part location diagrams on their web site. Check there maybe.

Be aware that you will spill a little gasoline – probably a cup or less – while changing the filter. Depending on your temperament and situation, you may want to prepare yourself with a drip pan and rags.

it could be in your gas tank. you have to take the rear seat out and then on top of the gas tank there should be a cap where the pump/filter reside.
