How do you replace the fuel filter located on a 2001 Ford F-150?

Answer 1

It should be on left(driver) side of the frame well in front of the gas tank. It will be under pressure. I've heard some say to open the gas cap and let it sit for 30 minutes or so to let some of the pressure equalize. The filter has quick clip safety connectors at each end. Clean off both ends so no crud gets in open lines. Remove the safety clips and pull off hoses. have rags and/or bucket to catch any gas coming out(it will drian some, but not that much) Put new one and reverse the process. Start and look for leaks. You will need a tool to remove it, It fits over the steel tube then inserts into the line opening the internal clamps. Tool cost me $8 for a steel one they had plastic disks that would work in variousa sizes.
