Replace the Fuel
Filters - Ford Models
Engine specifications require that
this procedure be performed every
100 hours.
Replacing the gasoline fuel filters is essential to
good engine performance and service life. A dirty or
clogged filter may cause the engine to perform
poorly and continued use may cause component
damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require
that the filter be replaced more often.
Explosion and fire hazard. Engine
fuels are combustible. Replace the
fuel filter in an open, well-ventilated
area away from heaters, sparks,
flames and lighted tobacco.
Always have an approved fire
extinguisher within easy reach.
Perform this procedure with the
engine off.

Be sure the arrow on the pre-filter
is pointing towards the fuel pump.
Explosion and fire hazard.
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
systems operate at a very high
pressure. Fuel may be expelled
under pressure if the hoses are
removed too quickly. Loosen the
fuel lines very slowly to allow the
fuel pressure to dissipate
gradually. Wrap a cloth around fuel
hoses to absorb leaking fuel before
disconnecting them.
