Hey guys i need a little help changing the fuel filter on my 01 F-150 Supercrew Lariate. I have the 5.4 engine. I m trying figure the procedure to change it. I was told that i needed to release the pressure in the fuel lines and that there was a special tool needed also any help would be great...Thanks

 

Oh this is easy I just picked of a set of these release tools at Checker Auto.

Procedure is to release the pressure at the schraeder valve on the fuel rail. Schraeder valve looks like a tire valve, push on the center, and pressure will release as fuel sprays all over. Trans is right with the tool needed. Its a garter spring, you know what a garter is, that little colored fluffy thing around a brides good looking leg that they take off and throw over their back to the next generation of good looking legs. Sorry, got side tracked. Need to expand this spring to go over the expanded bead on the filter. There is a less expensive tool for this job then shown by trans, its by KD Tools. Its just for the filter and not a whole assortment as is used by the auto techs. Hope this helps.

 

You guys were right it was easy it took me few minutes to change it and i was good to go. I appreciate the help and info guys thanks.
