Where is the fuel filter on a 2003 Volkswagen GTI located?

The fuel filter is located on the passenger side of the vehicle near the gas tank. It's held on with a hose clamp attached to a bracket. You will need special clips to remove the fuel lines and change the filter. A filter I bought a year ago had them included, but now all of a sudden I can't find them anywhere. The local VW dealer seemed like they had never heard of the clips or a tool to remove the lines...which makes me nervous. Anyway, good luck.
