Where is the fuel filter on a 1996 dodge ram 2500 diesel 5.9 cummins diesel?

Answer 1

When you open the hood, walk around to the driver's side fender and lean over it. Look far back into the space between the inner fender and the engine. It will be a canister usually white in color and will be mounted to the engine by a bracket. To change it you want to disconnect the two wires hanging from the bottom and then unscrew the entire filter with an oil filter wrench. When you get it off, you will have to unscrew the black plastic piece on the bottom and screw it back into the new filter after replacing to o-ring which should come with the new filter. Fill the filter with diesel fuel. Then replace the o-ring on the bottom of the filter bracket and screw it back on till tight. Plug the "water in fuel" sensor back in. Crank engine for 20 seconds, then let rest for 2 minutes if it does not start by then. After the second try it should start.
