The fuel filter is lilely still in the stock Syncro location.
An amazingly large number of owners and shops have never 'discovered'
where it is on a Syncro.
I have pulled one out that I am quite sure was in there at least 15 years.

it's hidden behind what could be called a 'shock tower' ( it's not
really ) ...
in the left rear wheel well.
Remove LR tire.
kinda 'up' ..there's a box-like structure.  The fuel filter is behind it.
you can undo the bracket screws ..
thenpull the filter out some to get at the hose connections in it.

Real FUN !
