in the Fuel tank..it can be accessed by lifting the Carpet in the rear above the Tank and removing the Screws on top of the Fuel Tank..(if you are to replace it ,for safety..disconnect the battery)

If you know that you have one, I'm surprised that you don't know it's on the fuel pump inlet...

To clean it you just need to remove the pump, detach the sock from the pump, clean it with water and then let it completely dry before reinstalling it.

The only way this would cause engine running problems is if it was really clogged. That could only be from something being put into the tank or a tank that's badly rusted internally.
