Ford Econoline Fuel Filter Swap

Here is a real-time step by step process showing how to change the fuel filter on an 02 E350 with a V10 engine. This process is the same for all gas models from 1997-2014 including the larger case size variant in some applications.
We used tools from the Lisle 39900 Master Disconnect Kit

I knew there was a durn tool for getting the fuel line to disconnect … 🙄 🤣 Thanks for a good video. 👍🏻

[@Matt-vb2jo]

Ideally unplug fuel pump relay and crank vehicle for a few seconds. It takes the pressure out of fuel line.

That or the inertia switch

[@camposvazquez]

​@@marcusadams02 I am terrified of that switch.. when on a light gravel trail . Went over a very small boulder.. watermelon size... BAM!!!! Van stumbled .shut off...stayed off.. wouldn't turn over Inertia switch... Took an hour of calling around my buddies with Ford's on what the issue was then spent another hour pressing on the inertia switch instead of pulling it.. At this point I don't even like looking at at the switch or even mentioning its name when I'm around the van

I have a question… that second line going into the engine I have a small leak at the rim of that metal tip…. What can I do? It Helene while trying to change the fuel filter. 01E250

[@markzanetti6228]

have a 99' E150 can't get filter to release line. using those white plastic, filter release inserts.

[@vantageoptics3767]

Push harder, they go in quite a bit before releasing. It's also possible your tool isn't long enough to unlock the fitting

[@NoahPARK82]

What year is your E350 and do you have to release the fuel pressure before removing the filter?

[@vantageoptics3767]

This is an 02 V10...it will drip some out but there's no need to release pressure otherwise

[@NoahPARK82]

@@vantageoptics3767 idk but i cant find the fuel filter on my 2013 ford E450 2v 5.4 litres

[@Gugaatomico]

Taking a beating on my E350 extremely tight space on the front side of it

[@paulwilkerson5117]

What is that black hose right below your filter? I'm afraid to move mine, it looks like its deteriorating rubber. Is it just a hose cover? thx

[@vantageoptics3767]

That is the evap hose for thr emissions system. It can be changed easily and is a common issue for deterioration

[@paulwilkerson5117]

@@vantageoptics3767 Would you have to use a special type hose to replace it? I see nothing on the internet about it. thx

[@vantageoptics3767]

@@paulwilkerson5117 should be standard fuel hose line, I believe 1/2" ID but may change w engine and years

[@paulwilkerson5117]

@@vantageoptics3767 thanks for the info.

[@Divineautowerx]

Where is this located ? By the passenger side rear wheel?

[@vantageoptics3767]

Driver side mid Chassis for most

[@banisuarez3091]

What was your truck doing for you to know it got clogged again

[@greghood659]

I wish more people that make videos would say what the symptoms were.

[@greghood659]

So the arrow points forward?

[@traviswilson9198]

can you tell me where it's located

[@vantageoptics3767]

Driver side inside the chassis for an Econoline

[@michelleknight9556]

Where do I buy those metal clips? I lost one on the road.

[@vantageoptics3767]

replacement fuel filters normally come with new clips, though most are plastic

[@Murmeltje415]

Depressurize filter and lines first!

[@johnjohn8431]

How do you do that? Where is the release located?

[@Murmeltje415]

@@johnjohn8431 easiest way is to pull full pump fuse. Turn on engine and Leave the truck running until it dies

[@madness-ent.]

you dont have to do that not mandatory, but it does make things somewhat easier

[@marcusadams02]

Would have been nice if had stated the size tool. Smgdh

[@vantageoptics3767]

Was not stated as it changes with year and engine size

[@marcusadams02]

@@vantageoptics3767 wow, I used the one that fit inside. But it was much easier when I released the gas pressure

[@TERRORoftheLORD]

It sounds like you had junk in your gas tank!

[@vantageoptics3767]

Standard preventive maintenance, very cheap and quick to do
