Installation – Dfcm Filter; Removal - Engine-Mounted Fuel Filter - Ford Diesel 2012 Supplement Manual

Maintenance and Specifications
Installation – DFCM filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bowl tabs and replace the seal on
the DFCM header (top portion of DFCM). Refer to Motorcraft part
numbers later in this chapter for the fuel filter kit part number.
2. Reinstall the lower portion of the
housing by slowly turning it
clockwise onto DFCM housing,
allowing fuel to soak into the fuel
filter element. Tighten the lower
housing until it contacts the
mechanical stop.
Note: The engine will not run properly if the DFCM fuel filter is not
installed in the housing or if the filter bowl is not tightened to the
mechanical stop.
The system will need to be purged of air after removal/changing of the
filter. See Purging air from the fuel system after DFCM and engine
mounted fuel filter replacement following.

Removal - Engine-mounted fuel filter

The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic disposable cartridge. To
remove it, do the following:
1. Disconnect both fuel lines by
squeezing the connector tabs and
pulling the lines straight off.
Note: Although the fuel system is
not fully pressurized when the
vehicle is off, some residual
pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some
time for the pressure to
completely bleed off. Therefore, it
is recommended to place a shop
rag below the filter connectors to absorb the small amount of fuel that
will drain.
