Leo, I don't mean to sound like an ass, but get dirty, crawl underneath there and figure it out.  You won't damage anything but you will definitely learn something.  
 
Bring these things with you when doing the job:
Oil drain pan to catch any spilled fuel
rags to wipe the gas off your hands 
Some clamping device to keep the fuel lines from draining 
 
This is a very simple procedure, but it is an under the vehicle job, so watch yourself.  A little gas or dirt in the eye can ruin the whole experience.
 
Best of luck,  PSD.

    Thanks to all who replied re fuel filter replacement. Most told me to look under the van, passenger side near sliding door and that "it should be hanging there". I did find a number of lines and tubes that disappear behind protective plates. Behind which should I look for the fuel filter? Do I have to remove one/all of these plates? Which one(s)?
     
    Thanks Leo
