Re: fuelfilter try to change fuelfilter and wont come
Ou need a special tool to remove the fuel lines on your vehicle. Fortunately Ford had the wisdom to provide it to you. Here's how to do it.
Removal:
Warning: because of the combustion characteristics of gasoline, always use extreme care when removing and installing any fuel system component or personal injury or damage to the vehicle may occur.
- Perform the fuel pressure release procedure.
- Raise vehicle on hoist.
- Remove push connect fittings at both ends of the fuel filter. NOTE: To remove 5/16" push-connect fittings, use Fuel Line Removal Tool T90T-9550-B or tool supplied on vehicle. Tool is located 254 mm (10 in.) behind fuel filter. Place in glove compartment after use.
- Install new retainer clips in each connect fitting.
- Remove fuel filter by pulling fuel filter toward center line of vehicle and free from fuel filter bracket. NOTE: The flow arrow direction should be positioned forward and downward to make sure of proper fuel flow through replacement fuel filter.
Installation:
- Install fuel filter in fuel filter bracket, ensuring proper direction of flow.
- Install push connect fittings at both ends of fuel filter.
- Lower vehicle.
- Start engine and inspect for leaks.
