Default code 420, can't find fuel filter

Hi All,

forester 2006, 4 CYL

I am popping a code 420, which I do believe is an Oxygen sensor or
a fuel filter problem. So I decided to change my fuel filter first (less
expensive).

Problem: I can not find my fuel filter. The only diagram I could find
is for a 2004 forester, and it ain't there. Anyone know where they put
my fuel filter?

Many thanks,
-T

Fuel filter is in the gas tank:

Most likely something with the rear O2 sensor though:

PS welcome to the site, if you can't see the pics in my links above you will need to register on our site, it's free though.
