Also, if your bowl drains slowly the petcock drain may be plugging. Just screw the filter cap back on and turn the ignition on while the drain valve is open. That'll blow all that shit outta there.
Was the water separator screen something specific to the Super Duty trucks? I have an older body style '97 Powerstroke and my filters (even the ones that come with the cap) do not include this.
what if someone was helping u with the filter swap and claimed to have shut the yellow water/fuel dump switch? and when u went to crank it .. u found out they had NOT closed the switch?? just wondering because i changed my fuel filter this morning on my 96 f-250 and exactly that happened. of course its closed now .. but my truck wont start!
Ive noticed watching the video that the bottom of the fuel filter; the gasket is rinkled? dosent this allow junk past the filter element. also the housing as a bathtub ring around it. The other thing is that the drain is mighty slow emptying out , there is always grunge and water in the bottom of mine.
@kbob871 Yeah there shouldnt be alot of water or dirt on the fuel. Try emptying the diesel from the filter into a glass mason jar and let it separate out so you can see any water or crap in it. Its usually due to the water seperator and fuel filter not being changed enough, or needing to be.
Nice video, I own a 2002 F-250 with 293,800 miles on it and its my first time changing the top fuel filter, since I've owned the truck, good to see someone walk me through first. Great Job!
Hmm factory says you should change your filter @ 15 k. personally I change mine every other oil change. Wow suprised you haven't had to drop 2,500 bucks on new injectors yet.
I have a 2004 Harley and that bitch left me on the side of the road. Hope this is whats wrong. I have had the truck 2 years and have only changed the oil one time, lol. OOPS
Appreciate the info. I just bought a 2002 7.3 powerstroke with 105k on it & I was wondering how often I should change the fuel filter? The truck has 121k on it now. I'd appreciate any advice seeing's how this is my first turbo diesel & it didn't come with a diesel owner's supplement. It was bought from a reputable dealership, so I'm prettyu sure they completely serviced it at 105k before they put it out on the lot. Thanks! I changeb the oil around every 5k, but I've never mesed with fuel filter.

How do you prime your truck after you run out of diesel?
goldenboygq9 9 months ago
@goldenboygq9 You turn the key over till the fuel pump activates, turn it off then back on about 3 times, it's self priming.

I bought the one without the cap and it was $17 each. It was a sale where you have to buy a minimum of three for that price.

Don't forget to replace the filters inside the fuel tank wen you get a chance so you don't have any problems on the long ran how I did

Good job. Glad to see someone finally explain how to use the Yellow/green water drain lever.
Never been done on my truck for the two years I've owned. Hopefully, it won't break when I do it.
