It's a cheap part, about $12, and not too hard to replace -- located just forward of gas tank near right rear tire. Mind the flow direction.

Watch out for fuel spilling from old filter when changing.

When old filter is empty of fuel, blow on the inlet side. If hard or impossible to blow air through the filter, it's too clogged and needs to be replaced.

You'll notice an immediate boost in acceleration with a new fuel filter.
