It has only the strainer mounted on the pump inside the tank. From the service information -
Fuel Strainer
The fuel strainer attaches to the lower end of the fuel sender. The fuel strainer is made of woven plastic. The functions of the fuel strainer are to filter contaminants and to wick fuel. The fuel strainer is self-cleaning and normally requires no maintenance. Fuel stoppage at this point indicates that the fuel tank contains an abnormal amount of sediment or water.
So basically, unless you have a problem you shouldn't need to bother with it. Were you planning on changing it as a maintenance item or do you have a problem?
