EDIT: WHEN DOING THE PRIMARY FUEL FILTER LOOSEN THE HOUSING 3 TURNS THEN OPEN BOWL DRAIN. Thanks!
A bit different from the normal on the 6.0l and 6.4l but just watch. It really is this easy!
Called the dealership this morning and quoted $473.00 for oil and fuel filter change... I will be doing it myself. CRAZY!!
$450 in NJ this is fucking Insane.
As I stated on the boards where this was posted. I am a flat rate tech (paid by the job not the hour) so multitasking is in my blood when working at the dealer and it came through in this video. Besides as fast as I ratchet it off not filming with the other hand the 3 turns are done rather quickly always rushing being flat rate. So siphoning the fuel from the tak will only happen for mere seconds no big deal.
Fucken ford told me It was hard to do it myself and charged me 189.00 and now I'm watching this video while siting in the waiting room.. Wow they got me
Manny i hear you brother. They just tried to charge me $112 for the air filter and $25 to install it. I told them i had one in stock and id tell my 10 year old how to install it.
I've had some issues using a 1 ¼ inch wrench changing filters. It sometimes pops the bottom out of the cap. Plastic wasn't the best design for this housing. My Ford dealer tells me that I'm not the only one that has had this problem. In fact, they stock new caps because it occurs regularly. I've started using a strap wrench with a half inch wide strap around the body of the cap to install and remove it. I've had no issues with that method to date. I have busted two caps within 1 ¼ inch socket. It might be worth a try for you and if you don't have the tool they are common and fairly cheap.
Awesome video! The biggest thing I was worried about was the air and you did a great job of answering that.
Me and my 2011 f250 thank you dearly!!!!!! Worked like a charm to the "T"!
Our 2016....the engine filter had the front fuel line clip facing down (green one in this video). But our rear one (squeeze tab) was same. Had to use a long flat blade screwdriver to pop the green tab out/downward.
Still easy as pie.
Used a Motorcraft kit and the engine filter went right in no probs. Heard some size variations with aftermarket filters make it really tight.
The frame filter....bought the shallow socket and it was super tight. Ended up using filter strap and the wrench due to seen where people's had their socket but break clean off. Replacement of the housing is needed if that happens.
FYI: When changing filters while the vehicle is on ramps, loosen gas cap! My truck was on 10 deg incline and the pump continued to show bubbles. I figured out the problem by priming the system filling a small gas can. The clear line showed constant flow of bubbles. When it was full I went to dump it back in the truck...the tank had MAJOR suction. So I left the cap off and primed again. No bubbles. Started right up. Yes, I used some grease around the gasket, and made sure it was all the way screwed on.
great job. thanks for the info! Changed my oil and fuel

In Illinois here with our bad fuel quality we stick to 15k intervals. Other states not known to have fuel quality issues, 20k is safe.
FordTechMakuloco how to replace blue clip on fuel line 2013 ford 6.7 liter diesel
Bam…was able to do mine today because of this video. Thank you!
About to do this on my boss' 2011 f250 as Always your video helped give me some insight on the job. Thanks!
Bought my first power stroke 6.7!!
Nice enjoy they are much better than any previous diesel engine Ford has used.
Any tips and tricks its my first diesel truck 14 model
Thank you for the DETAIL !!its ironic that you tube costs nothing, and Information systems cost HUNDREDS PER MONTH, and information is NOT in the "system"
Thanks for sharing, your video makes it easier on my 2012 f350 everytime..
I made a plastic sleeve that will fit over those threads to push the o-ring on so you don't cut the 0-ring on the threads. It happens quite often.
terry: so I guess the O ring was not in the groove completely and was compressed down to rip? Maybe that is why 2011 won't start after fuel filter change. My first time doing this on this truck.
I know this is an old video but thinking back on what I used to pay to have this done on my truck still pisses me off. A 15 to 20 minute job cost me over $250.00 including filters. Absolutely ludicrous. I do my own filters and it takes me maybe 20 minutes. Highway robbery!!!
It is robbery! My shop charges about $250 each time and it only took me 15-20 minutes and $65 for the Motorcraft parts.
Thanks For The Video..It's Fantastic And Helped Me Alot! 2012 F250 KING RANCH.
Just did this on my 2012, don't know why the dealer wants $140 to do this simple filter change.
Why did you not loosen the water separator housing before draining it? If you loosen it three turns and then open the drain it will drain the fuel out in about a minute, by not loosening it before opening the drain it will keep drawing fuel from the tank by syphon action. Plus you won't have all that fuel draining out on your hand and ratchet like it did in your demonstration.
Thank you for this.
I got to do this tomorrow morning. They want $140 for the parts….

Great video
Was able to walk me through changing my fuel filters. Easier than I thought. Thank You
I like the way your gauges sweep. Mine doesn't do that .
Another successful job on my 6.7 THANKS to your channel!
Thank you very much for the video! Any other recommended maintenance tips? I'm a big do it yourselfer. The more advice the better.
I just recently bought a 2011 f350 6.7, did the fuel filter change today. Your video was spot on helpful, everything went well changing out my filters except when I reinstalled the rail filter underneath. It came off and went on easy I tightened it down it stopped out of reach from the sensor hookup. I did not over tighten, It turned like it should it just did the stop thing to far. So I had to back it off about less then a 1/8th of inch to reach the sensor. Any idea why it stops past the sensor.
Can’t thank you enough bud! You saved me a bunch of money.
I noticed that the secondary filter on the truck had three plugs but the new one only had two. Why is that? I didn't see you plug in the third connection..
Third is factory fill and bleed port
Tried change mine. But wouldn’t stop draining. After losing more than the gallon. I quit.
What’s the secret. How much diesel should drain out?
This is a great video but my whip sensor plug broke at the housing. .Is it Ok to drive until I get another one? Truck runs fine! please let me know
I came across a filter that will not come out . There was this sticky gel all over the filter seizing it on there
Thanks man for showing us this. I just got a 2011 with 85k on the od. Wasn't sure when the filters were changed last. Figured it wouldn't hurt to change both. The primary had a lot of crusty dirt around it and needed to be hosed down lightly with water before removal. The secondary didn't have the factory bleed port, whew!. Is the service interval every 25k miles?
Same just did my primary now because it had one really loud buzzing sound I was thinking my pump was going out but decided to change filter first and that fixed it but man it was dirty in there and filter was dark brown crazy
I’ve heard doing the fuel system service can cause a squeaking but I don’t see how that’s possible. But I’ve serviced this 2011 6.7 and it’s still doing that annoying squeak at idle when cruising once warmed up. Doesn’t do it cold.
Thank you for the video, very helpful. However I must tell you that the upper or secondary fuel filter, the line in the center was indeed under some pressure. Fuel sprayed all over the engine and up onto the underside of the hood. I am not complaining because it gave me a good reason to clean under the hood. I would like to know how to alleviate that pressure next filter change.
Michael Ganster drain the primary filter first and keep the key out of the ignition till you’re done. There will always be some residual pressure in the secondary filter but not enough to get a shower
This is an excellent how-to video, thank you.
Question, drained for several minutes and the cover will not come off. I was really cranking on it. Stopped because I didn’t want to brake the whole thing off. Help?
You are a savior
I changed my filter out, but now I really hear my fuel pump. I don’t remember hearing it ever before. It seems pretty loud. It that ok or is something wrong??
Cracked primary filter housing, or not tight enough. Pump is loud when drawing air
The fill/bleed port line, what do you do with it after installing a new secondary filter. It shows being removed and the replacement doesn't use it.
My 2014 only has the coolant reset. Why?
Make sure you installed the filter housing flush with its mounting and marks are aligned and the drain plug and wire connector is in its original position, dont make the mistake of not mounting housing flush!!!!
Perfect how-to video. Thank you!
28k. I bought used 2 weeks ago. clean truck. but ford said the exhaust valves were replace at 19k miles in September
This was an awesome video! Mahalo from the 808 state!
Question for FordTechMakuloco,or anyone else
I watched yours and several others on the removal and reinstall of the main fuel filter and when I removed my filter a small piece of plastic fell on the cement floor which turned out to be I think the tab that stops the filter from turning on any more. So I went to the dealer and bought a new housing and when installing it if I go to the stop as shown in the videos the wif sensor cable will not fit as the filter housing goes past the so called stopping point. So I backed up the housing 1/8 turn and finished with the normal procedure and did the 6 times ignition on/off for 30 seconds etc and checked for leaks and everything seems good. So because this filter housing did not come to a complete stop should I be concerened? The O'ring looks like it seals on the diameter inside the housing and not against a bottom lip inside the housing. I am not sure why the reason for the dead stop other than making sure that the inside threads do not engage the O'ring. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
boatbuilder1 1/8 a turn I would not be worried about it the filter housing engages the oring way before the stopping point so it should be sealed a plenty.
FordTechMakuloco Thanks for easing My mind FordTechMakuloco that is what I was thinking. Next time I replace the filter I am going to do a dry run without the O-ring just to see if the bowl does come to the stopping point. I assume there is some sort of tab on the upper portion that the bowl screws into that makes contact but I could not see it.
Great video, you DEFINITELY should make more Thank you
Dose the tank have to be empty before you change the filter because the fuel doesn't seem to stop coming out?
+Rock Hard there is a check valve
If all you do is open the drain valve I swear because of the siphoning effect you could drain your whole tank. If you twist the filter housing lose a little it breaks the vacuum and the fuel will stop coming out.
Have a 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty 6.7L Diesel,, Looking to Do It For The First Myself,, Is this Where And How It's Done For My 2012
I work at a ford dealer and in the powerstrokes ive worked on dont have the bolt to release the filter on the engine compartment. We have to take it out with pressure. Is this normal?
Kevin Diaz he said they changed after 2011. Pay attention.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this information.
Just found out today that my 2015 f-250 diesel with 28k has low compression on #8. Tear down time for the Ford boys.
+conroyz28 Not good, how many miles?
Great video and thanks for taking the time to make and post this!
Thanks! Everything went smoothly. How important is the fuel clamp in the engine bay? My truck is missing one. Could this result in a slight diesel leak?
What year is the truck? They only have that band clamp with the screw in 2011. He said that in the video
Probably doing this on Monday
thank you! what are the intervals for a 2013 6.7? I have 116k miles and I drive it a lot
+Aleg Boxxer 15k miles every time
+FordTechMakuloco thank you sir. I never did a fuel filter change myself, always had the dealership do it. today I did it in 12mins thanks to your helpful video 💪
Great video!!!
Thanks for the reply sir. Have a great day.
Excellent video. Thank you.
can you get just the top side filter and not the frame mount one? i have a fass system and only need the top side
+Blake I have never seen them separate from Ford anyway.
What do you drain the fuel into then what do you do with the fuel when you're done?
Can you clean the bottom filter housing with brake clean?
I just changed my oil and fuel filters, cycled the key 6+ times and it wouldn't start. I've changed them multiple times before with no issues. I'm guessing it's getting air in the system from somewhere. I rechecked everything and still wouldn't crank
I just cracked the drain while letting the pump cycle, not sure that it is recommended, but it works..
Just want to know about 2 items on my 07 Super Duty 6.0 diesel
2011 f250 6.7l.What size socket is needed for removing the primary fuel filter cap?
32mm
Or 1 1/4 socket
this was the hardest damned fuel filter change in my life. and the most expensive. first of all, the filter housing broke when i used a ratchet. Then, the rest of it began to break when i used a filter wrench. Then I bought a strap wrench which broke and wouldn't open the thing. Then, I went hunting for a sensor because nobody had one. Finally, I figured out I could use my old one. No dealership or parts counter people helped me figure that out. Now, the one extra o-ring that came with the housing for the bleed valve broke, and it's leaking everywhere. Now, I have to go find the right sized o-ring. IT NEVER ENDS. Shoulda just taken it to the shop.
Dave Heart mine broke too. How did you get the freaking housing off? Mine will not budge
Sounds like someone put them on tontight
@@kevinlewis651 I used a big channel lock to get my broken one out. My water sensor was already broken so replaced that and found housing replacement local. Drained batteries priming the fuel pump too.
My 2016 doesn't have a fuel filter minder. Is this normal
Hello MK. My friend put def in the diesel. With the truck running. Then the truck shut off after 4 min. Wont start. Its a 2016 f250 6.7. What will be the next step . Drop the tank ? Thank you
replace your entire fuel system - 15k
Very helpful, thanks for the video.
Im looking at getting a 2012 6.7. I have all the maintenance records from the truck thru car fax. The truck is jusy shy of 300k miles. How crazy of an idea would it be to buy it?
Great video. Not so sure the dealerships will like it. Now I am certain I can handle this when the time comes by myself. 2013 is probably the same for the most part. Thanks
Yes it is the same but easier, now the fuel filter on the engine just turn locks in there like in my video, no clamp with a 7mm bolt anymore!
Awesome vid bro. Thank you.
Great videos! Keep the good work. I work at Ford dealer and just put new fuel filters in a 6.7 today and bleed the fuel system and several times the way you did it started fine but came back saying it stalled and had a p0087 fuel rail/ system pressure too bank 1 code and it said low fuel pressure on instrument cluster do I have a air pocket in the system or there something more going on?
The bottom filter isn't tight probably. It should turn to a noticeable stop.
Filter Housing needs to be flush with upper mating surface, it will get air in the fuel system without leaking fuel, trust me I know!!!
Does the pump stop when full pressure and then start
when I go to drain the water nothing comes out...is something wrong??
Great video thanks for making it
Great Video. Thank you detailed video. Very Helpful.
I noticed you reset the coolant minder without running contamination tests on the coolant. Do you recommend the collant tests, or are they normally a waste of time and money. My Ford Dealer told me to run the tests every other minder alert...
xlrEAGLE At a higher mileage like 60k miles and higher but everyone of them I have tested with the strips has passed with flying colors.
FordTechMakuloco Thank you for the info, and keep the great videos rolling!
Very helpful thank you
thank you!
what did you do with the 3rd hose the first hose on the left that was on the filter under the hood? Geez i was quoted 200 for the filters and 2 hours labor to do this job. Im going to do it myself.
Same. I cant figure it out too man
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Going to do mine tomorrow.
I used your video before and I’ve had changed several filters but just today after I changed the filter my truck won’t start!!
Any ideas??
Literally just had the same problem what did I do wrong??
Awesome, thank you for sharing
Quality Video! Much appreciated sport!
My last oil change and fuel filter change was 500 at the dealer. Never again.
If these filters are dirty or clogged will they cause a humming sound coming from the fuel pump in the tank? Its getting time to change mine and I'm getting a humming sound from my fuel pump in the tank and i'm thinking that the filters are semi clogged and they are causing my pump to work a little harder.
Yes they will, but more common is o rings installed wrong and Ford say 1/4 tank and under the hum noise from the pump is normal. I have changed quite a few pumps out for humming noises even low mileage. The pump is on the frame rail in front of the tank where the primary fuel filter is I show in the video.
"Unscrew three full turns before opening the drain valve"...are you saying to unsrew the filter three full turns before opening the drain valve?...thanks
Yes
Thank you sir.
I changed my main fuel filter and in the bottom of the fuel pan I used to catch the diesel from the filter were 2 small springs. Does anyone know what they go to?
The springs came from the Wif sensor, where prongs connect to the filter.
Very helpful.
Very good video.
great video man . Thanks a ton.
I have a question my 2011 6.7 powerstroke is ticking while idling and as I push the throttle the ticking goes faster what is that I was reading about the typewriter tic is that it?
Chase Gardner Gardner Yeah they all seem to have it. Does it go away when the oil is changed for awhile?
Yeah it seems to get lower but it's off and on I don't think it's anything bad it runs fine?
Chase Gardner Gardner According to Ford no it's nothing bad definite tolerance issue but nothing back. They had a few guys putting Carbon Black super polymer additive in to fix the noise.
Many thanks my friend. I sure do appreciate it.
Great video, thanks!
How do you cycle a push start 6 times
You literally cycle the button 6 times without putting your foot on the brake pedal.
Great video thank you
Thanks
Good video
odd question for you, I'd read on a forum about a guy putting a pump for a 6.7 on his 6.0, would that just snap in or are the lines different, and more importantly are the pressures and such the same? I had to disconnect my new FASS crap because it kept loosing pressure, that 6.7 filter looks alot easier than my 6.0 frame mount.
also is the frame filters between the 2 the same, I don't recall seeing the water membrane on that 6.7 filter like my 6.0 has.
+AceBoy2099 everything is different one is HEUI the other is common rail way different systems.
Ok so i have a 2022 and there is no fuel filter at tansfer case like this video
Is the 2016 the same?
How often do you recommend replacing both fuel filters?
Video was excellent!
Thanks for the feedback.
Every 15k miles.
@@FordTechMakuloco thank you sir!👍
What is the small hose on the second line going to the secondary filter under the hood?
stepfour It should be the fuel return from the injectors.
