where the heck is my fuel filter

06' 2.7L...title says it all. I was wanting to change my fuel filter but can't find it's location. does the 06' 2.7L not have one?

 

It's in the gas tank, built in with the sending unit and fuel pump if I'm not mistaken.

 

In the gas tank.

 

Oh well...want be changing that today since I just filled it up yesterday. Thanks. Maybe in a couple of weeks when it is near empty then.

 

Is it showing signs of being clogged?

I only ask because those should be good for about a half million miles.

 

I figured out what it was today. Haven't used A/C yet this year until recently and forgot what a strain it puts on the engine when it kicks in. It did this while at the same time I was driving into a headwind. All together it felt like the clutch was slipping or engine was missing but it was just being a 4 cyl.
