Question fuel filter replacement ?

I've ordered one yesterday but wasn't sure if i should, what's the life expectancy of it ?

Also anyone know how can get to it, from the trunk or under the back seats ?

There is a fuel filter in the tank. You probably don't want to replace it unless you're sure there is a problem with it though, it's not easily accessible

It's not part of regular servicing at all and i haven't seen anyone on CL replace it just as regular maintenance.

There are 2 (in a way), one is a pickup screen before the pump, the other is a full-flow filter after the pump. Both are in the tank and are not maintenance items.

There are no fuel filters outside of the tank.
