Dude you don't even wanna know where it is. Trust me, if you're thinking of changing it, take the car to a mechanic to have changed... I'm sure it'll cost about an hour for labor (even though it takes them 20 minutes) + the part = about $100. Nonetheless, it'll save you time and hassle in the end.

If you change it out yourself you'll just get fuel all over your hands and arms, and there is a good chance that you will strip the threads or roll the little nuts. Then you'll have to get a new line (at least one). I had to get a new rear line installed and it cost about $300 total.

if you can NOT strip it, go for it.
easy to access, right where they said it was, and it's like $10 for a replacement filter @ local autoparts store.
if you feel like u're gonna strip the bolt, better just go have someone else do it. . .and USE A LINE WRENCH

disable the fuel pump and crank the engine till it dies. less fuel will be in that line then. and have a bucket in case.
