Honestly i'm not sure when the filter should be replaced, i've never noticed it in any maintance schedule, but thats not to say it isn't there, but what i can tell you is most people just leave the original fuel filter until they have trouble, they really aren't all that expensive though and they aren't hard to change so i kind of wonder why.

Why? I waited until 120K+ miles to change my fuel filter, and even then
I never noticed a decrease in MPG or performance.

I could have sworn the manual says every 30,000 miles.
