The fuel filter is normally changed at the time of tune-up, the timing being whatever the manufacturer recommends.

I see the manufacturer has no recommended interval for that. It really depends a lot on the quality of the fuel that you're buying. It only takes one tank of contaminated fuel to trash the filter. I like to change them around 30K intervals to be safe.
