It's just ahead of the right rear axle. There's probably has a plastic shield covering the pump/s, filter and accumulator. Don't forget new crush washers.

Are we gonna into which end is rear? :p

The copper or aluminum washers on the fuel line fittings that attach to the fuel filter. You risk leaks if you reuse the washers.

You can contact Phil through the FastLane link at the top of the page. IIRC new filters come with washers.
