It is necessary to have a fuel filter because, back in the 1930s the fuel was dirty so they installed fuel filters to clean the fuel going to engine.

Where is the fuel filter on a 1994 dodge ram 2500 5.9?

The fuel filter sits on the fuel pump/fuel level sending unit/module located at the top of the gas tank. Unless you suspect you have a fuel contamination problem, changing the filter is not necessary. If you think it is necessary, you have to drop the fuel tank in order to gain access to the unit/module. There should also be a screen type filter at the bottom of the unit/module as well. Hope this helps.
