This posting depicts the location of the fuel filter and some of the pieces that have to be removed to expose it. Several users have changed their fuel filter, but I don't recall any pictures of the fuel filter as of this writing. I do recall people asking after its location after verbal descriptions like "in the 'v'" or "under the cover." This posting just answers the question with pictures.
Note: I'm only documenting the location of the fuel filter, not the remove/replace procedure. I'd document that, but my van isn't due for its first filter change for 4,000 more miles and - at the rate I'm driving - that'll be Sept.
To access the fuel filter, you need to pull off the air cleaner and the middle plate of the three piece engine cover.
The engine cover resides below the air cleaner.
I removed the worm gear clamp on the passenger side of the North American vehicle (indicated by the pointing stick).
Then I removed the jumpstart postive lead (not pictured)
Then I disengaged the air intake hose (lower left side of the following pic).
This exposes the engine cover's middle plate.
Watch the back of the plate. There are "V" notches in the back of the plate. The notches are held by rubber bushings. The bushings are mounted on plastic. I snapped the one of the driver side, as I removed plate for the first time. Later, I'll post the repair. This posting is just about the fuel filter location and what must be removed to expose the fuel filter.
Here's the filter in perspective.
Here's the filter close up.
