Below is straight from the service manual. Most manufactures have done away with the serviceable fuel filter.
"The fuel filter is located in the fuel sender assembly, inside the fuel tank. Vehicles with dual tanks, have no fuel filter in the rear tank fuel sender assembly. There is no service interval for fuel filter replacement, and no service procedure for replacing fuel filter."

returnless fuel systems put approx. 1/5th the quantity of fuel through the filter as a system with a return line would. This equates to 180k before the returnless system filter would need changing.
So don't change anything until the fuel pump dies of old age.
