Supposedly every 2 years, but with decent fuel in UK, you can get away with longer.

If you have the fuel filter and unsure when it was last done there's no harm in changing it  :-\, Did mine on the 3.2 few months ago, removed a fuse cant recall which fuse then let the engine cut out then there should be less pressure. Managed to do mine without the special tool, 30min it took in total I'd say  :y
