It's behind the left rear wheel. You need to remove the left rear wheel and wheel liner to see the filter. It's in a very tight location attached to the top of the frame rail.
Please update your User CP to include at a minimum your Year, Model and Location.
The year will make a difference in that you may need an upgrade to the fuel filter including 3 new fuel lines.

Please add for future reference. While there you might as well add your ML's Year, which is also very important.
