Section 10-01: Fuel Tank, Filters, Lines and
Electric Fuel Pump
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel Filter
Fuel is filtered at two locations on Aerostar and Ranger vehicles.
In-Line
The fuel filter (9155) on MFI applications provides extremely fine filtration to protect the small metering
orifices of the fuel injector (9F593). The fuel filter cannot be cleaned. If the fuel filter becomes clogged or
restricted, it should be replaced.
In-Tank
A nylon filter element (inlet filter sock) is mounted on the in-tank electric fuel pump inlet inside the fuel tank
(9002) and is used to protect the fuel pump (9350) from fuel tank contaminants.
The in-tank filter is not serviced separately. To service the in-tank filter, replace the fuel pump and sender
assembly.
