I just watched this video again and more than twice! I saw a little problem that I must mention! The thumbs down are sadly mistaken! This amazing free style of doing a repair by anyone is what is so unique and well presented! This person did a outstanding job and presentation! This is from a me a mechanic who most definitely knows what he is talking about!!!!!!!!! Again GREAT PRESENTATIONS!
mijharmonjim thank you for saying that. I appreciate you watching.
Great full lighting (often overlooked) all the way through the video. Nice of you to give the 8 mm and then note the correction to 7 mm bolt head. Thank you.
Gil T thank you. I try to make quality videos.
Thank u so very much for this informative video. Every part of this video was beneficial to my husband while he changed the fuel filter in r hatch back Ford focus.
God bless you.
I am glad that it helped. Thanks for watching.
Very informative video.I could see where and how to replace the lines and in what order.i wasn't sure how to replace the fuel line conectors,and replayed the video and saw that the line conectors pastic clips had to be in the up position before pushinng them onto the filter and then pushed down to fasten them to the fiter.thank you so much!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
nice clear explanation. well filmed. only suggestion though is music is disruptive and overpowers your voice. thanks for the video.
I fully agree with the above comment
Sorry about the music. It wasn't meant to be that loud. Only as a background noise. It was hard to watch.
I agree the music is to loud my friend equalize for the next vid before posting do some test to see how YOU hear it n if you like it and your voice is being heard over the music but this was very good vid regaurdless how u did it that’s how u learn some don’t realize that DIYs it’s called LEARNING AS U GO I own a bmw 335i coupe and rare 2007 Ford Focus se black with st body kit spoiler manuel 5 speed
Why didn't you depressurize fuel system? Very easy to do, and you won't get sprayed like that, still some fuel, but not near as dangerous as what you did. Just pull fuel pump fuse, (no. 12) in under-hood fuse box, run car till it stops, try to restart a couple times, replace filter, reinsert fuse, start car check for leaks, your done!
Thanks for the info.
Just check your repair or owners manual
To make sure you get the right fuse
Or just remove the gas cap.
@JoyDivision1976 the fuel is coming from the gas tank so even if u run engine until it stop fuel is still in the tank. What your talking about is clearing the fuel pump of fuel.
Thanks for that tip I was wondering..
You did an outstanding presentation thank you for this video
mijharmonjim thanks for watching. I hope that it helped you
Thanks, Now I Know What And What Not to do, You saved me a lot of money. Thanks Again
Haha exactly. If you just let your vehicle sit for a while it won't be pressurized.
Thanks for taking the process through step by step. I'm not a mechanic I just play one on T.V.
Thank you. What show do you play a mechanic on?
That's why I love youtube. Great DIY vids, and smart comments below. ;)
Én egymagam thanks
Awesome job! I wasn’t sure where they may hide it on ya. -I forgot to look up best way to relieve pressure on the line.....near fuel rail,....?. Thanks for the video. Time to put one on
Borr Magilicutty good luck. Thanks for watching
dave really nice video quality thanks
Thanks Joe
Good video, nice clean and simple
Thank you!
Could do without the techno/electronic music, but thank you for the video. This is very helpful. Thanks for having the angle that shows what you were actually doing under the car and the good lighting. Greatly appreciate this video.
No problem. Thanks for watching.
Releasing fuel pressure should be the First step to avoid fuel bursting out on you other than that Great Video!!! 👌
My car normally doesn't hold pressure in the lines when I change it. It was just really pressurized from me just driving it. I didn't even think about it at the time. Typically the car would be sitting overnight and its not an issue.
Buen vídeo, me fué de utilidad!
Gracias!
great video explained everything nicley
Thanks for watching
Thanks you for the video.
Thanks for watching! I hope it helped.
Good video..gonna go do mine now.
Thanks for watching
Good video. Spoke clearly.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Brilliant so simpul
Thanks so much! Now I don't have to wait for my husband to fix my car, lol!
Nicole Alge haha you are welcome.
Thank you so much dude
KingAce19 no problem. I hope it helps. Thanks for watching.
Good video, thanks
Thanks for watching!
that help me out big time i want to go on ebay and get one i have a 2003 ford focus ZX3 just need to get the right one for it. Thank you
They are super cheap at any part store. Thanks for watching
thanks for a realistic look at the task......
No problem. If you haven't started your vehicle for about an hour you don't have to worry about any fuel spraying out. Normally the pressure has leaked out and the line is just full of fuel. I had just moved mine which is not normal and I wasn't thinking. Good luck on your project.
Thank You !
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Thank you, by looking at it I'll install the 90 degree hose before I bolt it up.
You are correct. lol
Chido Karnal 🤘
Thanks for watching
Thanks!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Is it the same for a 2013 focus?
I wish you had given the range of models and years this is good for.
Jason Osgood it should be 98-07. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus
I was going to ask why you didn't depressurize the fuel line, but BTD already did. Thanks for the video! Why didn't you reconnect the second (flex) hose to the other end of the filter before installing the other end in order to avoid the hassle of the tight squeeze?
Because I couldn't get to the bolt if it was on. Thanks for watching.
Just did one today at my shop. Not sure what the year was, but it was in the same location and had 3 fuel lines total. The two in the back were balls because there’s hardly room and they’re practically on top of one another. After a bit of finesse, I was able to get it off, but I’m not happy with whoever designed it lol.
Thats awesome. I am glad that this could help. Thanks for watching and giving us some info.
Wouldn't it be better to drain fuel from system by pulling fuel pump fuse while engine running?
Yes it would I just never did it. Normally if the car hasn't been started there is almost zero pressure. I had just moved my car and did not think the pressure would be strong for some reason. I believe its fuse number 12.
Dave, I have a 2014 Ford Focus SE 2.0 and I cannot find any where that shows how I can instructions on how to replace my fuel filter. Only that my fuel filter is part of my fuse pump and I need to replace the fuel pump. Do you know if this is true and show I just take it to a shop? I already changed out my upper O2 sensor, but my check engine light is still on. My car sputters right after I gas up. Like I said my check engine light is still on, which said that my upper O2 sensor was bad. I have the lower O2 sensor which I am going to change out too. I know a lot to ask but do you have any ideas.
Most of the newer ones are inside the tank attached to the fuel pump. They don't need changed until the pump burns up. A lot of the vehicles have an access panel that you can access the pump without removing the tank. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Is there any way around not having to sill gas all over the place?
question: why not put that small piece of fuel line on before remounting the filter?
Spartan Rider because it made it way easier to put the bolt back in.
Do you know how to disconnect the return hose of the transmission from the radiator?
Juan Aguilar no mine is a manual. Typically it’s just a wrench
Exelent
Thanks. I hope that this helped you. Thanks for watching.
What year focus is this. Ik mine is a 2010 and I can’t seem to find it. Anyone know ?
Cole Melton it’s a 2002 Ford Focus.
Great
Thank you for watching!
if you opened the fuel filter door will that release any of the pressure in the fuel line?
Yeah I just moved the vehicle and wasn't thinking.
Cool
Thanks for watching!
Lol the song. Got me FUCKING JACKED AND READY TO GO CHANGE THIS GD FILTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Austinite haha DO IT!!! 😂
Is there a fuel filter on the Ford Focus 1.0 ecoboost 2016?
I don't know. Check with a parts store to see if there's one available for it. Thats the easiest thing to do.
Where can I buy the horse clips for the filter as well as the seals. My car leaks.
You are able to buy them at just about any auto part stores. Thanks for watching.
I bought the Car quest filter that came with 4 clips, 2 different sizes. The ones on the filter before taking it off, broke. Is there only 1 way to put the clips back in??? My gas didn't spray out like yours did, it just dripped a little and I loosened the gas tank cap is all. When I had the old filter out I too turned it over and all there was was very brown gas! Dirt!
Mine sprayed out because I just moved the vehicle and pressurized the lines. If the vehicle sits for like 30 minutes you barely get any fuel to come out. That was my mistake. I hope by now you were able to figure out the clip issue. Thanks for watching. I hope that this video helped.
Some mechanic I went about changing the fuel filter of my mk1 says petrols don't have a fuel filter. I doubt that but can someone tell me more.
Ahmed the best thing that I can say is go up under your vehicle and look for one. Check the parts store. If they have one there for it odds are you have one under.
Mk2 does bot have it
The first hose you pulled off, at 1min... Do you know it´s code? I´m in trouble to find in Brazil.
Raphael Almeida try this. www.jegs.com/i/Dorman/326/800-855/10002/-1?CAWELAID=1710514331&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=44693592161&CATCI=pla-174896232071&CATARGETID=230006180039218505&cadevice=m&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI45DPqsrJ2AIV3oWzCh32TQzFEAQYASABEgKds_D_BwE
Thanks
Does that straighten out the power issue or sputtering issues
Yes in my case. If its super backed up it will cause some hesitation. If it is a rough hesitation you probably have other issues. An old fuel pump not producing enough pressure could cause issues too. I would start with the fuel filter. Normally every 30K or so it needs changed. I am about to do mine again today.
Remove the fuel pump fuse, crank it until it dies, then proceed. Fuel won't spray.
Yeah I had just moved the vehicle so I wasn't thinking it would still be pressurized. Normally I have the vehicle sitting for at least 30 minutes and its not an issue.
Is this the same for a 2017 focus
No its a 2002 Ford Focus. I think it would be similar but a lot changes with the new models. Best thing I can say is look up the part and then get under and look for that part
Thanks very much! Good video. God bless you, and Jesus loves you!
Thank you!
Did u take out the fuse first?
I did not this time but even with it pulled I have had it spray like this before.
Wich model focus? Tell me year please
2002 Ford Focus ZTS
Thanks Dave! Good vid. Plz no music.. just want to hear your instructions.
You are so right!
I don't mind music it's fine who cares as long as I'm able to hear you nice and clear.
Yeah CZcams messed up processing this video. The music was at 10% but it processed at like 200%. My computer crashed and I lost the video so I couldn't fix it. Thanks for watching
Helpful video, but skip the horrible dubstep next time please :D
Sorry that you didn't like the music. Thanks for watching
@@DaveMedicus It was bit distracting, maybe lower volume would do. That's from someone who actually loves dubstep, particularly dubstep remixes. Anyhow, thanks for helpful video! Take care.
@@ados1980cz you think that is dubstep? And you love dubstep? Wow
My Ford Focus has 140,000 miles on it. I just put over 10,000 miles on it since I got this car. Should I change it now or wait until it starts to clog up?
I would change it now because you don't know how long its been since it was done. Its cheap and easy. Just don't do what I did and move the car 2 minutes before you disconnect it. lol You won't get the spray if the car has set for a while. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, got it done. I had it replaced at the nearby Jiffy Lube place. Only $50.00! 😎
Did mk3 and mk2 has a same fuel filter?
I cant answer that question. I would check with your local parts store for the correct one. Thanks for watching.
What are the chances of changing the fuel filter solve code P0193 (fuel rail pressure sensor) ?
I would say its a good place to start. if its not the fuel filter it is most likely the fuel pump. My car when the filter starts getting clogged with have a difficult time starting.
Change fuel pump
good morning friend thanks for your videos I have a big problem I have a Ford c max 2003 1.8 petrol 120 hp I would like to change the petrol filter the dealer says it doesn't port do you have more information?🙏🏻
Some are attached to the fuel pump and are not serviceable. Thanks for watching!
@@DaveMedicus thanks my friend
Lucky man. I got a second fuel pipe running. When I released it cause it was totally blocking the filter, my full tank emptied.
Ray dang that’s not a good thing. Hopefully it was almost empty to begin with
Thanx, I was able to stop it before I lost too much. After I was highly flammable :)
Just a FYI----I have a 2007 Focus, and it doesn't have a separate replaceable fuel filter. Instead it has what is called a "lifetime" filter that is part of the fuel pump assembly. Does anyone know what specific years Ford used this "lifetime" fuel filter?
it depends what engine it comes in. European version ford focus 1.6L from 05-11 have builtin fuel pump filter cannot be replaced, while 1.8/2.0L Duratec HE engines (european version) have inline fuel filters. Im not sure about US versions but i have seen videos they have ford focus with minimum 2.0L displacement engines with inline fuel filters upto 2009.
Inline in my opinion are better. I have seen way too many pumps burn out with the inline filter gets clogged. It might be extra parts but its peace of mind. You can also change a lot of the "lifetime" filters by removing the fuel pump. I believe the ones that are set up this way have access under the rear seat for the pump. Thats just a guess from what I have seen.
you tube donut media and we are the mighty.thanks
Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know how to take those clams off.? Just squeez then on the back just like that.
Eduardo Martinez yes. If your vehicle is the same as mine once you release the locking part they will pull off. If you haven’t done it in a long time they can be tricky.
What is the name of that hose with the green clip?
Not 100% Sure. It's mainly a fuel filter line.
@@DaveMedicus I actually had to fabricate a new line using a different hose because I think it’s a dealers part I couldn’t find it at autozone or anything like that but it works.
Did it cause a string gas smell before u changed the fuel filter
James Williams not that I remember.
@@DaveMedicus oh ok i git a 02 focus gas smell comes and goes
Im change the filter i see no leaks feel a stalling so im change the filter another question trunk button dont work os it a fuse for it i change the button itself still no go
@@james1234108 Okay this is a shot in the dark but I had it happen to my car and it just clicked into my head that it could be your problem. Check under your hood. There is an EGR tube that runs from the exhaust down the side of the engine between the battery to the back. Mine had a hole in in that actually melted the positive battery cable. This leak gave me a fuel smell. I have a video of that change if you need to see it visually. I hope that helps.
@@DaveMedicus ok im check happens when it get real low in gas lol
One thing to note. If you disconnect the battery first you stop the pressure on the filter and it won't spray everywhere.
Yeah the problem was that I just moved the vehicle 2 minutes before I took it off. The lines were still pressurized. If I let it sit for a while I would have been fine like every other time I have done this. lol
Dave i didnt depressurize the fuel system. But when i pulled off the fuel lines, there was very litle fuel coming out. There really is a lot of yours, Does this mean that my fuel pump is almost dead?
errrwerwer werwrwrwer no it probably means that his car was recently started.. and yours hasn’t run for a couple of hours..
No I just moved my car like an idiot and didnt think about the pressure build up. If your vehicle is sitting and hasn't been started for a while there will be no issues. very little will come out. Thanks for watching
Video was well done should have pulled the fuel pump fuse ran the engine with left over fuel in the lines and open the fuel cap to depressurize the fuel line.
Yeah I know. I have never had a pressure issue with this vehicle. It’s normally smooth sailing. I had just moved the vehicle so there was normal pressure where as I normally have the vehicle sitting for hours before I mess with it.
Good video, I’d just cut the music, for something like this it isn’t necessary.
Yeah the audio uploaded way too loud it was set on 10% and then my computer crashed and I lost all of the footage. It had so many views I just left it to help people.
You should be showing people how to depressurize gas line first.alot safer that way
Yes it’s all over the comments how to do that.
Pretty good video. I'd only suggest maybe a better view and description of how to remove the clips.
Thank you for your input
👍👍
Thank you
Wrap a rag around pipe before you pull it and you wont get soaked!
Normally my car is sitting for a few hours so there is not pressure built up. I had just moved it and didn't think about it.
Pull the fuel pump fuse before you pull the line. Good job though
Yeah I just moved the car and didn't think about the pressure built up in the line.
What year what focus????
2002
Liked: how to release clamps, bolt size
Dislike (minor): music selection
Sorry about the music. Thanks for watching. I am glad that it helped.
Which year?!
2002
Merhaba bu benzin mi dizel mi acaba
Bu benzin. 2.0 DOHC Motor. İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler.
Hay que desconectar la batería??
No
@@DaveMedicus ok gracias
Need a better close view of those fittings on the filter AND how they disconnect.... 👍.
They just squeeze in. once you get underneath it you will see.
WOW🙄
Thanks for watching 🙄
Open the gas cap for the tank and depressurise line.
Yeah normally the car is sitting for a while and its never an issue. Of course I just moved my car prior to doing this video.
Fire hazard eye-damage method. Pull fuse 12 while it is running to depressurize system. Don't do like he does here.
Normally my vehicle has been sitting overnight so the line is not pressurized. I had just moved it and didn't think about the fuse this time. Thanks for the comment
Alphalete!
Lang Yang yes sir. I love this shirt. It’s so comfortable.
1:10 when you da man
HitsMetal it normally doesn’t do that on my car but of course when I am
Filming it did. It was t as bad as it looked in the video. Lol.
@@DaveMedicus take out fuel pump fues and let her run dry that way she went get you again :p
You should have undone the evaporative pipe first wouldn’t have had all that fuel spraying everywhere. And definitely take of negative battery terminal lead pull fuel pump fuse
My main issue was I just moved the vehicle and pressurized the lines. I never gave it any time to lose pressure. I just wasn't thinking.
you should have depressurized the line first. Power off the pump and let engine run until it die of lacking fuel.
Agreed. But even with doing that there can still be back pressure from a clogged filter.
Why would you have loud music playing during this video? I could barely hear what you where saying?
I have lowered the volume in my future videos. I made the mistake of editing this video with headphones on. It gave me a false sense of volume since I had plenty of highs. Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope that this was at least able to help you some what. Thanks for watching. I have about 9 more videos coming out soon with this vehicle. Subscribe to see more projects. ( Coolant, upper radiator hose, low hose, over flow hose, thermostat housing, hitch, trailer wiring, airbag assist, stainless brake lines, engine mount, trans mount, and battery cables)
I had no problem hearing him
Good informative video with good camera shots. Thanks. In the future though, please skip the annoying music. It adds no value to the video.
Sorry. It uploaded WAY too loud. I had it at 10% and my voice at 100% but CZcams screwed that up and my computer crashed right after. I couldn't fix it. Thanks for watching.
👇 It could be good video without music.
Thanks. Sorry about that.
hands in the way hide how the clip comes off. I have never seen clips like this on a fuel line B4 seems strange to me.
All you have to do is pry out the white piece (not completely off ) and the line will wiggle off. The white piece basically goes around the collar of the filter to hold it back.
Safety glasses.......
Yeah I had sunglasses on if I remember right. Anytime I am under a car I have glasses
Am I watching a dubstep music video?
I’m sorry that you feel that way
Dave Medicus hey. I never said I didn’t like it 👍👍
Depressurize fuel system before removing filter lolol
Yep. lol Below in the comments someone wrote what relay to pull to do that.
Helpful video. But no dubstep pls
Zac Dean sorry.
I broke all brackets
Or clips, idk what they are called but I superglued it 💪🏽
:D :D ;D awesome bro!
Buy new hoses next time
