2017+ Powerstroke 6.7 Fuel Filter

[deltabravo]

I stumbled across an interesting video where the owner describes his field fix and spare fittings he now carries.

2017 and newer Powerstroke Fuel Filter

For those that owner these newer Fords, is the fuel filter and housing one integrated unit that require removing those three fuel lines to replace the filter?

When you buy the kit, it comes with both filters (You may be able to buy them individually, but I did not see that as an option when I ordered mine), so I don't know why you would not replace them together.

When I bought mine they came in kits as well but I don't change fuel filters unless i feel there is some reason to. So on one truck I changed the primary when I had a problem with the fuel gelling. Changing the primary was enough to get me going again. The other truck had its primary filter changed after putting DEF into the fuel tank. I disconnected the fuel line at the under hood filter and pumped all the fuel out of the truck through the low pressure side. After emptying the tank I changed the primary filter just to be sure I had gotten all the DEF out of the system. So far I haven't come across any need to change the fuel filter on my latest truck..... it only has about 25000 miles on it.

I believe that a 2014 has two fuel lines attached to the filter and the 2017 has three, with the added fuel line being the tiny fragile one.

I will have to check, you might be right. I need to do my filters again in a couple weeks.

That said, I have the replacement filter in front of me, and it certainly appears that all three lines are sturdy. Yes, one is half the diameter as the others, but the plastic is nearly the same thickness.

Did you actual watch the video?

It is not the fitting in the filter that is the issue, it is with the quick disconnect fitting on the return hose that attaches to the filter.

Remind me never to buy a used vehicle from you!

Well, then don't get mad when people take your words as yelling or disrespectful. Just saying, you might get a little further with people if you didn't talk to them that way. You can do what you want, but they can do what they want in return as well. I will just continue to return disrespect with disrespect. Makes no difference to me.

I have used caps for emphasis for a word or phase for years. No one ever called me out on it. You need to get OVER yourself and realize that CUMMINS12V98 has just as much right to be here as you do! Chris

rhagfo, are you opposed to changing from the top and if so why? I assume you would like to give the turbo spin, check boost clamps and look for hose wear as I pictured.

Not at all, first change didn’t have a stool to get tall enough to work over the fender. The through the wheel well was the best option at the time.

"Well, then don't get mad when people take your words as yelling or disrespectful."

As I said not one person in the 16,155 posts I have made here has accused me of yelling.

Disrespect? Yea alright!

Please BLOCK me!!! Was that yelling? YOU decide.

I'm out.

Sorry I was NOT yelling, your interpretation NOT mine. I clearly stated what I meant, guess that was not good enough.

Funny you just now make this comment as this is how "I" convey what I am trying to say. Been doing so ever since joining this and other forums I belong to, NEVER have I been accused of yelling.

After having done it a couple of times - I find the CTD filter change using the fender cut out access very easy 15 minutes max. A filter cap is a must to keep from making a mess. Easier in opinion than the older CTDs and having to do it from the bottom.

Well on our 2016 I worked through the wheel well, on the one change so far (purchased used 12/31/2018), a little oil spilled, but not bad, may get a cap.
DD 2004 pull the filter to turbo hose, easy pesy two screw clamps, chance to check turbo for play. Filter out the top.
Same on the previous 2001, turbo hose off and out the top.
Bad was 89 F250 7.5L (AKA 460) when you removed the filter oil ran on to the cross member.

Seriously??? I emphasize a couple words and I am YELLING???

Didn't think you were the sensitive type. :B

That is what capital letters mean when you type them, yelling. It is a bit rude to do hence the reason why respectable(and normal) people don't do it unless they are mad or purposely being disrespectful to someone. Maybe that is why so many people here are at odds with you.

Anything else you want to complain about?
