Ford Escape fuel filter

[@Kopihucky]

This is an easy job. Took me 20 minutes. For those of you who don't do your own work on cars but want to a Chilton manual will go a LONG way and save a hell of a lot of $

[@Nocholas]

Thank you! Saved me $120. Did it myself with a $8 filter. Good thing I did too, the gas coming out of the old filter was brown. I think it's the original filter. Just bought the vehicle at 186000km.

[@FrancesCRICKETSPINNEROutman22]

thank you soo much, im unemployed and the thought of having to pay someone to do work i can obviously do my self... hugs...

[@MaxxDevil55]

Thank you. Good video. Those clips are a real pain when you're laying on your back w limited arm room. Wish I had access to a lift for all my maintenance and repairs. Keep up the good work.

[@asbalyan]

Thanks for the details... The local bodyshop was asking total $79 for filter + labor... Thanks again....

[@mamamiabeara]

We have a Mazda Tribute, which we understand is also built by Ford. Same year. Thanks for the tips. Great video.

[@davevailmba]

It's the same basic layout. Found this not with CV axles and steering knuckles

[@donaldwilkins6315]

Thanks for the tip. The fuel filter seems to have been my problem with the engine light / code set was a lean engine. The filter had rust on the tank side and had to have been clogged, it is a wonder how it ran. The tip on the relay was great.

[@stevecarneal3214]

Great Video! Thanks. The first time I let the dealer do this the charge was $79.00 I did it myself this time, the part was only $15.00. I would recommend capping off the old filter on both ends before removing it as it holds quit a bit of gas! Also the next time I do it I will probably have some duct tape handy to secure the fuel line hoses upwards so they don't spill as much fuel! Its a really easy job but can be messy, I will just try to prevent the fuel spill next time. Once you do this job yourself it will be hard to pay someone else since it is so easy!

[@fattymatty823]

It's the same way with breaks too!

[@MrCharlipo]

You guys are the best thing that happen to me this month. This video it's the way out of my problem, thanks a lot

[@StimsLuap]

I have a 2005 escape with 75K miles on it with the original filter. I'm going to do this now. Thanks. :)

[@HerbDoesEverything]

Saved me $80. Thanks!

[@devilslice]

hi, your videos are very informative, i think once they catch on youll be doing great! i dont see why you dont get more views. I am a tech and i watch all your videos,but for someone with little or no experience these video's will put them in the right direction. even for someone like myself, i have learned a few tricks from you. keep up the good work.

[@realfixesrealfast]

Hello, and thanks for writing. Of course I can't be sure with the limited information you have given, but from what you have said I'd suspect one of your vacuum hoses has either collaped or split. Look for that.

[@kiowastew]

Great video! Car shop was asking 60 + bucks for this. Filter itself cost me just 8.50 + 10 minutes of my time. :D

[@Energikar]

On my 2008 there is actually a fuel pump kill switch in the passenger kick panel. Super easy.

[@Jayson90210]

This video was GREAT!! I have had the new filter for my 05 (91,000 miles) for months but didn't know where it was. If your monitoring these comments, is it true that a bad fuel filter could cause a drop in gas mileage

[@shuhnelkuh]

This helped A LOT !!! Wow! Ima do this to my Escape tomorrow! :D Thank you much!

[@kelvinyuan5533]

My wife's 2006 Ford Escape limited engine refused to die with the R3 fuel pump relay plunged off, it struggled to idle but would not die. Also could be noticed was noise from the intake valves and tubes. I have got a lot of gas leaked from the fuel filter connectors as a result and a check engine light for emission control. Many others believe that the fuel pump fuse should be plugged off (the smaller No 6 fuse).

[@theloniouszen]

This works great. Shows all the steps. Thanks a lot!

[@zloben9000]

that was a CLEAN FILTER !! i would put i t back on, save them customer some money.

[@dorismekarry1334]

You are helping anyone

[@MatrixWisconsin]

Just did my filter thanks to this video

[@2bugsplus1]

Thanks for your video. Changed mine out in

[@thepirate5955]

Bravo! Thank you - tribal knowledge shared - good stuff!

[@Nektar212]

Thanks for this. Again you guys come through for us.

[@ohger1]

Since I changed my fuel filter according to these instructions, my radio is now playing mostly Christmas music. What's up with that?

[@smifft]

ohger1 Sounds like you forgot to flip the flux capacitor relay. Don't feel bad, easy mistake.

[@Jayson90210]

[@Msenjoli28]

Okay, thank you. I replaced a collapsed vacuum hose but it's still trying to take off while my foot is on the brake. I'll check one more time. thank you

[@kelkel767]

I have a 2005 Ford Escape Limited v6 and I am really do for fuel filter its been cutting my my mileage in half if not more and I have been looking for an easier 1-2-3 video to tell me exactly what I need to do in after I seen this one it was the most easiest and simple things thank you however it would be nice to have a link or suggestions on where to find fuel filters at a decent price other than that great video thank you, Kelly from Indianapolis Indiana

[@BALLIN02130]

thanks again.. your videos are great.!!

[@SPDRACR4]

Thank you. Great job! Clear instructions.

[@christianking7418]

Thank you very much! Very helpful!

[@rleon1991]

thank you very much i learned something new today

[@anneadair5705]

Is a Mazda 2006 filter done the same way as the escape?

[@GQGQ314]

Great explanation!!!

[@wildboar7473]

Mine is not half way, its 1/3 from back wheels, so i raised the back up, 1 retainer is different, far from obvious how to "push in", hell to deal with.

[@braceman89]

Is 2002 Ford Escape fuel line filter the same way?

[@replyfirst]

nice job

[@sergino54]

thank you very much!!... very helpful!!...

[@Whistond]

Gold. Thanks buddy

[@1elAguila]

good video thank you

[@lloyd29aq]

good video :) thanks for the details

[@Msenjoli28]

My 2003 ford escape accelerates or surge forward when I come to a complete stop or if I put it in park. Can you help me figure this out thank you. I will be definitely changing the fuel filter. thank you for the video

[@cristomario9118]

Great video, thank you. Can you please let me (and i am sure others) know where to locate the Fuel Pump Driver Module?

[@mkeptrangli]

The owner’s manual for my 2011 Ford Escape states that the fuel filter lasts for the lifetime of the vehicle and it does not need to be replaced. Is this true? I have 86k miles on my Escape and it has the original fuel filter. I only get 16.5 mpg because it’s AWD 6 cylinder engine. Will replacing the fuel filter improve fuel economy?

[@realfixesrealfast]

Great question. Words can have different meanings. "Lifetime" does not mean FOREVER, it simply means the average expected usable life of most vehicles. Manufacturers define this as either 10 years or 200,000 miles whichever comes first. COMMON SENSE is a much better guideline.

[@linnyblackwolfsmith9621]

I have a 06 Mariner. What would cause the engine to die when you stop while the overdrive is shutoff. Wife's car PLEASE HELP!

[@genereeves3866]

Thank you!

[@hispanicuscorpus]

If you can only tell me where is the fuel filter for a 2011 Ford Escape duratec 24v V6 engine

[@hp11208]

cool

[@FrancesCRICKETSPINNEROutman22]

would it be in the manual? or is this something else i can google...?

[@davevailmba]

You MAY be able to Google the location of the relays... ONCE I had the relay/fuse layout of my 2012

[@haleyksvl]

How do you relieve pressure on a Ford Escape XLT 2007?

[@edwardsstumpremovalsquirre8809]

I got a 2003 Ford Escape 3.0 when I got my foot on the brake and turn the AC on at once to idle down and wants to die could you help me out point me in the direction

[@briandoucette4417]

Thanks much

[@damieon333]

i have a 2013 ford escape S sport 2WD . where is the fuel filter located

[@ducdainguyen8530]

thanks

[@jpaulbaca128]

thank you...

[@toddwalling4506]

So I have a 2011 escape that I was getting around 350 miles to a full tank now I'm lucky to get around 250...I've replaced the plugs and also the air filter and put a locking gas cap on and even ran some Lucas injector cleaner thru the tank like it was recommend but still getting the same 250 could it be the fuel filter or O2 sensors?? Please help lol

[@realfixesrealfast]

What you have done probably helps but remember, the PCM adjusts the air fuel mixture based on the fuel trim values. I would suggest a close review of both Short & Long term fuel trim. Your O2 sensors age and that can affect the readings. Good luck

[@kathygreer2569]

my mazda will not stay running when I put it in drive are reverse can you give me some advise

[@humidbeing]

Sounds like the Idle Air Control valve (IAC). Ford has an updated design made by Hitachi. You can buy the Hitachi one. It's cheaper and the exact same part as OEM.

[@jessevega183]

Did you fix it?

[@fraserbolton3941]

Is the fuel filter for a 2013 ford escape in or out of the tank

[@leongray]

Is the relay located in the same spot for a 2006 hybrid also?

[@jreece13]

thanks...

[@dmorley100]

@devilslice Diddo here too.

[@keithallman8557]

the one for fuel pump replacement what yr ???

[@crowslanding9]

how do u know when ur filter is bad or cloged

[@7tooslick738]

😊

[@jaimejaime2975]

What about 2012 hybrid?

[@jamessong5838]

honey! look at this!

[@DJS7a7ic]

The clips on mine are different and I could not get them off!

[@Toolaholic7]

Change it or you will have an expensive repair called a fuel pump replacement.Plugged up fuel filter puts a strain on the fuel pump and kills the fuel pump.Some one at Ford needs to be strangled for coming out with that clip.I hate that clip,a real pain in the a%^ to release

[@johnsteele8073]

What YEAR Escape does this apply please?

[@luisaguilar6880]

Does a 2009 Ford escape 2.5l 4cylinder have a gas filter

[@vanessagerard4713]

I also would like to know

[@mikew6543]

Yeah but 2009 is when the Escape started putting the fuel filter built into the fuel pump as a "lifetime" filter so if its bad the whole pump has to come out. I have an 08 Escape thats started having issues so ive been trying to find the filter and thought i had a 2009 which is why i know about the difference. On my 08 escape the filter is directly under the driver side rear door almost in plain daylight but apprently the 09s have them built into the fuel pump.

[@pault7239]

Where is the fuel filter on a 2009 Ford Escape 2.5l?

[@fabio40]

In the tank. It's on the pump.

[@christinel4482]

not for a 2012

[@fabio40]

This is not valid for models after 2009.

[@Jayson90210]
