Taylor. Excellent videos on the 6.4L. When I open my drain separator, I attach a long clear tube to the barb where the fuel drains from. And stick the other end in a container. With this set up, keep the stop cock open when you ratchet off the cover. As soon as you loosen the cover just enough to break the seal on the o-ring, you will get another flow of fuel coming out the line. Spillage from the canister itself is inevitable being that they decided to lay it horizontally. But this will reduce that somewhat. Also stuff some rags under the canister when unscrewing. Keep up the good work.

I'm not sure if the the experience I had is covered in the below comments, but my primary filter would not stop draining and was siphoning from the tank. I made sure the fuel tank cap was off for no pressurization, One other comment below mentioned loosening the secondary cap first (maybe this would have helped break the siphon if done soon enough), however I did find another KZbinr who said if you have a full tank it may siphon like mine. I did have a full tank. In that case you just have to be prepared to change the filter with no delay and take a diesel bath.

@Lunchbox219845 жыл бұрын
What i normally do when changing my filters is, I loosen the upper, move to the frame rail, change it out with new filter o-ring, put excess diesel fuel on the o-ring, install. Move to the top, new filter/o-ring as well, excess fuel on the o-ring, before i install the new filter, i have someone turn the key on and let the fuel pump fill the upper filter housing with fuel just below the threads on the housing and then screw down the filter and torque it to spec. has worked for me this way and has never failed, nor made a mess. Always rule of thumb on the powerstoke engines. USE Motorcraft filters for the oil and fuel, never cheap out on buying the other brands. The factory filters are designed for the application for the engine. That was a big no no using that wix filter on the fuel system or even on the oil system. I know for a fact that people have had issues with those aftermarket oil filters, mainly because they come with a pre-made cap attached to the oil filter and have seen them blow the cap off because it was not the correct thread pitch and diameter. As long as you stay on your maintenance for these engines and do not use it for a race car type situation, this engine will last you for well over 400K miles. Key thing here is Maintenance for any engine. Change your oil, fuel, & air filters and fluids and your vehicle will last you for a very long time. Nice video Taylor, I have a 08 F250 w/ 6.4 as well and love my truck, but had kinda wish that i had gotten at least a F350 dually or even the F450, but my F250 does what i need it to do.

After the deletes about 10k miles back PS the truck loves it. If you don't have $ large don't over tune it. Racing in these trucks will cost you large. My tuner is either set to stock or haul when I'm carrying or pulling the trailor. the truck ran so well after the deletes I had to put an after-market fresh air kit in. The stock box was too restrictive and would set off the change air filter senceor. I went with the S&B fresh air kit. Much better no she can breathe 😊. PS I'm getting a little too much black smoke after being at a stop. Is there a setting in the tuner I could maybe lower?

Good video on the fuel filter change out. Just want to add, I open that drain on the lower filter once a month and drain off about a pint of fuel into a clean mason jar. Give the jar a swirl and look for water bubbles, trash. Good way to keep water build up in the filter housing.
