Thanks in advance,

I suggest replacing every 15k Service.

The filter itself is located on the passenger side ( right ) front of fuel tank.

I attached a picture of it's location.

I would have to disagree, solely on the fact that it is the smallest filter I have ever seen. And it's on a car that sucks fuel at a very high rate. They are cheap and easy to replace so I change mine annually. Just my .02

You are correct sir... 15k interval's.... I went back and checked my service history and found that is also what has been done on my car to date.

What's with the small filter anyways.. everything else is over engineered, you'd think the filter would be too.. LOL

Good Catch.

Did anyone happen to mention that it is a pain in the ass to get at the fittings and remove and replace tucked up there with the primary fuel pump.
