Stupid fuel filter question

[Mack Mechanic]

Im working on my buddys 96 chevy with a 6.5

Its sputtering occasionaly so I want to replace the fuel filter. I went to O'reillys and got a new filter and what the gave me was the style that goes into a canister.... I cant find where the hell it would go on the truck


Did they give me the wrong filter or am I stupid?

[d.h.]

The Filter Housing on 6,5 is at the rear of engine,behind plastic cover if installed.If you do a search on " Fuel Filter" it should point you in right direction.
