Default changing fuel filter

Hello all,
how often should one change the fuel filter on a 3.9L?

Since its in the fuel tank its a bit of a pain to get to, do they give you extra mileage out of them? I have about 50k on this one, I am guessing it needs to be changed.

any thoughts?

thanks

If I remember right the in tank filters are not replaceable by them selfs. Double check by www.autozone.com

If they is not a replacement, don't worry about it. By the book the in line filter might be 50,000 Miles. The owners manual will have it.

yea, I guess not. So effectively there is no fuel filter.
thanks for your quick feedback. I am going to go on a vacuum leak hunt, any suggestions? Ether or starting fluid?
thanks

Starting fuel is good, but dangerous. It can catch on fire to wires ect.
