How to change 1999 Ford E350 7 3 liter Powerstroke fuel filter

How to change 1999 Ford E350 7 3 liter Powerstroke fuel filter. This should apply to all 7.3 liter diesel engines in the VAN & BUS models. 1994-2003 I believe.

You are spot on about not bein no vids on these i have an ambulance there really rough i gotta pull my seats to remove my doghouse but i gotta do the orings on the fuel filter water/seperator so i gotta really get into there im goin in from the back though ...

[@TreyJustice]

@@TattedTommysTv good luck !

[@clownpocket]

Thanks for the video. Hard to find 7.3 van info.

[@TreyJustice]

Not much out there ! A lot is very similar to the truck but some differences.

[@thesoutherndisciple]

Very tough indeed! I’m need help dropping my tank to clean the two fuel screens in the tank because it Boggs down and won’t go over 30

[@TreyJustice]

@@thesoutherndisciple make a video

[@blackrockbrewing5141]

Exactly the info I was looking for, thank you.

[@TreyJustice]

Great. Glad it helped :)

[@johnlutz7891]

Thanks, I liked your video, I just did my 97 E350 7.3 filter. Your video gave me good info, while doing mine, I found it easier to come at it from the rear. The resonator was easy to remove/replace and gave me great access to the filter

[@TreyJustice]

I will have to try that next time I need to change , hopefully not for a while haha

[@csoulcraft]

I’m glad your video was a little more in-depth. My next job is to replace the fuel filter in the bus I bought

[@TreyJustice]

Glad I could help ! It’s not too bad. Definitely remove resonator form inside doghouse. Makes it much easier !

[@csoulcraft]

Oh definitely will. Anything to make a job easier. Soon as I get a break in the weather I’ll def be doing it.

[@aidanmathews2912]

Wow you look just like me and we drive the same thing with the same issue right now.

[@SRSunnyf16]

Thanks for video. This gave me confidence to continue servicing my fuel filter system. I have a fuel leak somewhere in the system, most likely the drain valve, but getting to this item in the Econoline van is considerably more difficult then an F series truck. A recommendation in your comment section by John Lutz indicated it was easier to approach from the doghouse area and I found that removing the resonator and intake tubing completely from the van gave access to the fuel filter from both directions. I am going to remove my fuel filter housing completely from the van to replace all o-rings so I am still working for complete access. Not there yet but have to say thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

[@TreyJustice]

Glad it helped ! I will have to try from dog house next time.

[@dylanairmet3676]

Trey you helped me so much! Trying to find the filter on a 98 E350 Ambulance was a pain and you confirmed what I thought was the filter. Hope your scholie is going good!

[@TreyJustice]

Glad I could help ! I love ambulances

[@wassimjacob9485]

Thanks for the video. Do you have to depressurize the fuel prior to filter replacement?

[@TreyJustice]

No need. Just start up of no leaks will pressurize itself.

[@Andrew-hu6is]

thanks for the video man! saved me a bunch of headache

[@TreyJustice]

Sweet!

[@BeniYahNomad]

good video brother

[@risingsunbird]

Amazing thank you

[@thesoutherndisciple]

I’m having a really hard time getting the O ring to go back on. When I tighten it it keeps bulging out the side. Please help

[@TreyJustice]

Did you get a new o ring ?

[@thesoutherndisciple]

Yes three times and each time they were too big. But I just got the old one to fit right, God is good. I’m getting my new batteries in two days and should finally be on the road. Thanks for your response brother

[@TreyJustice]

@@thesoutherndisciple did you figure it out

[@thesoutherndisciple]

@@TreyJustice I did bro lol just had to do it really slow and 20 times

[@thesoutherndisciple]

@@TreyJustice any tips on pulling out the turbo? I feel like I’m gonna have to take my up pipes of just to pull it out. My waste gate is stuck open , it’s suppose to be closed right?

[@MoronTwinsRacing]

Hey thanks for the video! About how long would you say it took to do this?

[@TreyJustice]

I would say no longer than an hour ! It took me longer but I had no guide haha

[@leosarrade8995]

I would recomend against chiseling it tight. Just make sure you get a new O-ring for a good seal.

[@TreyJustice]

Great advice! I was afraid my chisel would break but seemed to hold up okay. The new filter came with O ring. Bus is in shop right now for tune up. I told them to double check everything !

[@boomchaka7762]

Thank you for taking the time. Do you happen to know where the ICP sensor is?

[@TreyJustice]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mojVnpafjLSKhrs

[@tiernome]

Did you notice any difference in performance of the engine? Or was your old one not too bad?

[@TreyJustice]

It seemed to run okay before and after. This was just needed as it sat for over a year on a farm unused !

[@htatesil4192]

U forgot too drain the fuel

[@TreyJustice]

I wasn’t sure how honestly. The few info I found on it said it should be okay.
