2008 Mazda 6 Diesel 2.0 Fuel Filter location

Quick one Car lost power today, I think the fuel filter has not been replaced in a very long time. I bought a filter but not exactly sure where it is. This is the engine bay, is the fuel filter behind the battery? (red circle)

If you don't know where the filter is, I'm not sure you should be replacing it yourself.
Not familiar with the engine but looks like fuel lines in the red circle so probably in that area, would help if you took off the engine cover.

It was there.
On RHD cars it's behind the battery, on LHD cars it's where the brake fluid reservoir is.
Replaced on Sunday morning, 1 hour job. Fuel filter housing has a primer which was pretty handy.
Car Idling a lot better now and isn't hunting anymore.
