if you need to know how to replace it find the air cleaner box on the passenger side of the vehicle should have either philips head screws or torx bit screw about 4 of them in all take them loose and pull top up pull out old filter and replace it with new one.

SOURCE: Where is the fuel filter on a 2008 Chevy Equinox

Most filters are located eather under the the car by the driver or rider door. But there are some case's if have seen cars only having a filter on the pump in the tank.

Under vehicle, driver side, below seating area, front of fuel tank, mounted on frame rail in fuel line, just follow the line from the tank.

Check and see if you have any gas on the ground after you park your car. Check around the gas tank and gas cap. It's possible that the fuel pump (which is in the gas tank) has hoses that may be leaking. If this is a slight leak, it might only manifest itself via a gas odor into the trunk or passenger compartment. It might be a good idea to put the car on a hoist and follow the fuel lines from the engine to the fuel tank. There should a one line that takes the fuel from the fuel tank to the engine and another that brings back the excess. There should also be another line coming out of the fuel tank that is for venting. Unfortunately, the fuel pump and hose connections are not easily accessible and require either removing the gas tank or cutting a hole in the trunk to access it. You should definitely take care of this soon as leaks don't get better, only worse and it is a potential fire hazard. Good luck!
