Trying to change out the fuel line going to the fuel filter. auto store claims they gave me the correct one. was not the right stuff. any suggestions??

Find a hose that will fit over the end of the line and clamp it on it'll be OK to run it without a filter for a litle while till you can fix it right .. Just make sure your temporary repair does'nt leak as in add more clamps or get a different hose. Once running you can take it to a repair shop or ride down to a parts house where they sell the fuel line tool. Most all parts houses have them and dept. stores too. The fiter job is easy to do with the correct tool and thier only a couple of bucks at the auto parts store.

Hi, frist you have to jack car off ground and slide under car with a quick disconnect tool you can get at any local auto part store for a few dollars. The fuel filter is located about center way on top of fuel tank pretty easy to get too. Take the disconnect tool and put on line were it plugs to filter and push end with tool then pull line back off filter do same to other side line , take 10mm screw off bracket and slide filter out and replace with new one make sure flow arrow is going the right way.Thanks if i can help more just re post.

cut broken fuel line off straight. use a piece of fuel injection hose to repair from line to filter. have a good one !! if you need the fittings for filter. most auto parts stores have them. good-luck !!

Change the spark plugs and wires change the air filter and fuel filter fun some fuel system cleaner through the engine and then change the oil.

Hello. The fuel filter is under the car in the fuel line. It takes special tools to change it and you can borrow those tools at most auto parts stores as long as you buy the new furl filter from them.

sounds like your truck has the flex fuel engine. engine code 5. a flex fuel filter has the additional lines like you say your truck has. the last flex fuel filter I purchased was about $40 from napa. standard filters are alot cheaper in price.

Make sure the ignition wires are on the right cylinder.

Give it a tune-up get the good stuff.

1. Air Filter
2. Fuel Filter
3. Ignition Coils
4. Spark Plugs
5. Plug Cables
6. Engine Oil Filter
7. Engine Oil

Three to five, good ignition components are cheaper on-line the other stuff you should get at your local auto parts store.

first you gotta find it underneath. its a metal cylinder shaped with two lines going to it, in and out. it is usually held by a big clip to the frame.usually on drivers side between gas tanks and engine. then go to the auto parts store and tell them them yearmake model, and get the gas line removal tool that will fit . unscrew the gas cap so it depressurizes.undo the clips first, then use the tool to slide the lines off the filter each side. a little fuel will leak out so be prepared. then simply put the new filter in the holder and push the lines back . make sure the filter is on the right way, it has an arrow to show flow.

"Under the vehicle drivers side on the frame rail under the driver side door. There is frame right underneath it but you can access it easily. Be sure to release the fuel pressure before changing the filter. The fuel pressure release valve is located in the engine compartment on top of the engine. It is on the left side of the air intake manifold. It is just a small cap over the valve. Be sure not to lose that cap!! When you change the filter, the filter line on each side of the fuel filter has a quick disconnect type fitting inside the line (similar in principle to a quick disconnect on a gas line or air compressor line). To free the filter from the line you must push in (toward the filter) with a simple tool you can purchase at most auto parts stores for just a few dollars.

Additional Information The tool I was able to rent from NAPA. The guys there were very good to me. Look for about 45 min. of time to complete replacement.




While first off your going to need to relieve the pressure in the system, and if you think your going to just pull the fuel pump relay and then run the engine until it stops to relieve pressure it aint gonna work. Get a bleeder gauge. Your also gonna need a quick disconnect tool. Ford models are usually 1/4" 3/8" or 15/16". Put it on the fuel pump right before the "duck bill" then try to push the line foward. If that doesn't work just try to push the tool into the duck bill then try to push the line foward."
