Default Why is my dealer telling me the fuel filter is in the gas tank?

I told them it under the passenger side rear door they dont seem to believe me. Does someone have a diagram of this so I can fax it to them?

Default sure, but it's between the top of the tank and the body on the pass side..

You have to drop the tank to replace the filter.
