Fueling problem? fuel filter dirty and needs replacing?
As trying to cut out as missing? That could be timing out

if its petrol, there should be just the one filter located around the drivers side wheel arch (i think!!). Best way....lie underneath van, locate petrol tank, and follow fuel lines until you see the filter. Note - you may have a fuel return too!!
Any motorfactors sell them - ised to be in halfords too...but mine have stopped selling the basic in-line plastic filter. Make sure you follow the arrows and put it in the right way around too.
Have fun
