Fuel Filter Change Highly Recomended

[Adrian6T]

Hi Guys,

Today I took my car into Ford for a service and I had them change my fuel filter which has never been done since new (60K ago).

What a huge difference. So much stronger up top now.

I think ill be doing it more often.

Cheers

Adrian

did the same thing myself last week at 52K and have to agree that it did make a substantial difference.

The economy seems to be struggling a bit since but only marginally and I've put it down to cold mornings

Excellent, ive heard of stories about the fuel filters before, getting clogged up with little black plastic 'hairs' from the inside of the fuel tank (when they make them in the moulds).

I'll have to do a bit of research into it to see where it is exactly, to change it on the weekend perhaps.

On my ute its basically in line with the passenger door, on the inner side of the chassis rail.

Piece of piss to replace.

nearly the same place, but near the lhs rear passenger door.. just like the utes - it is on the inner part of the rail... you will need 2 spanners to undo it... takes 5 minutes..

cheers.
