OK, STOP!
Some Freightliner chassis have TWO fuel filters, some have ONLY ONE!
A quick call to Freightliner with your VIN will give you the answers.
Yes, for some chassis model years, the BEAN COUNTERS got involved and decided that only a single filter was needed.
Remember, the engine manufacturer did not spec the NUMBER of fuel filters, only the micron rating that it had to be filtered to.
IMO (yes IMO) if I owned one of the "single fuel filter" chassis, I would add a second one:
Primary fuel filter (between tank and lift pump) a fuel filter/water separator with course element (10-30 micron).
Then after lift pump a 2 micron element (assuming that is the micron rating require for your particular engine/injection system.
