I think its poorly broken out on the parts schematic.

The $209 part:

FILTER ASSY, FUEL
15410-42F00

on the fiche seems to correspond to both the "fuel pressure regulator" 
and "fuel pump case/fuel filter cartridge" in the service manual, so its 
a lot more than just the filter cartridge.  Unfortunately, I don't see a 
separate part number for just the cartridge filter.

The manual says "if the fuel mesh filter is clogged... replace the 
filter cartridge" but otherwise doesn't mention a need to replace the 
cartridge, it just talks about cleaning the mesh.  Are you sure you need 
to replace yours?
