You should have seen the crap that came out of my Fuel Filter.....nasty ass brown stuff. It was the first time it was changed since I bought it used with 20K miles on it
Took me 30 mins because the connector on the line from the tank was different than the one going to the engine.Lightningfr said:?

The connector for the line coming from the tank doesn't require any tools. You just release the little retaining clip and pull it off. It's the one that goes from the filter to the engine that requires a tool.
At least you changed it, too many don't and wonder why problems arise. :idea:
I need to change mine. Which filter is everyone running?
Andy,
NAPA #3595
Or you could do this: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=293336
And use a #3296 which is larger.

I need to do this too.. where is the fuel filter?
Inside the drivers side frame rail, about where the bed and cab meet.
Just a little tip, let the truck sit overnight and remove the gas cap before taking off the fuel filter, this will help with the amount of gas that comes out. Normally, a shop rag on the frame under the filter will soak up the little bit that drips out of the line, but I also put my oil drain pan underneath when I pull the filter off (you tip the filter one way and all the gas inside it will poor out, lol)
I normally use the stock Motorcraft, but I have used the Napa Gold before. I put a brand new one on every two oil changes.

I noticed that. Maybe Spencer can fix it for us.
I was reading up on how to do it using this how-to. It shows the same connector on both sides, and thats where I got hung up at. But I figured it out. To me it seemed easier to disconnect than the other.SWThomas said:
I remember the first time I did it...that damn connector whooped my ass for about 15 min.
Don't kill my bandwidth :-D

It's an archived version from f150online...(I think...) but I added some additional information to make it easier.
