The Fuel Filter is located on the firewall on the drivers side between the battery and engine.To make things easy remove the battery and battery tray and follow these procedures. 1 Remove gas cap to relieve pressure. 2 Shut off fuel switch located under driver side next to fuse panel. 3 The filter is attached to firewall with a clamp, loosen this clamp but do not remove it. 4 The fuel lines are attached with plastic clamps that slide over the fuel lines. 5 Pull the bottom clamp off first and then the top one,I used pliers to pull them off being carefull not to break them. 6 Remove the old filter by pulling it straight up, the top of the filter has a lip to keep it from sliding down. 7 Install new filter and very important new plastic clamps which came with my filter purchased from a Ford dealer. 8 Reset fuel switch and your on your way
