Just changed both fuel filters and followed your video. Everything worked out perfectly! I liked the way you purged the air after each filter as I was able to check for leaks after each one, instead of having them both to worry about at the same time. For the extra 5 minutes it took, for me, it was worth it! Your video just saved me $150 labour as that’s what the local Ford dealer quoted for the change after the filter purchase. Thank you for your help! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Huge thumbs up on the check valve comment....I changed my fuel filter once beforee and the same thing happened it wont stop draining...... this is grreat and many of the ford mechanics on here apparently do not know it either.

I’ve watched over ten of these fuel filter videos, and this by far is the best! Thank you, and well done! 👍🏼

That is not how to do it… disconnect electrical, spin housing loose several turns, open drain and it will empty the housing out into pan and not all over yourself. There is a check valve that will keep the system from draining the whole tank…

Pretty sure that’s what I said in the video?

This solved my problem of fuel not stopping draining. Thanks. Too bad the guy with thousands more views telling people the wrong way. Thanks.

Much obliged, I opened the Valve thinking it was going to drain the filter housing.....well almost 4 gallons later I called it quits. Time to head back out

Great video it's nice knowing opening the draincock is not needed. Way less mess created this time.

Great video. Yours is the only one ive found so far recommending to purge after changing the rail filter aaswell as after the engine bay filter. My bro is a Ford Tech and he says to ALWAYS purge in between changing filters. Thanks for showing us DIYers how to do things the proper way. Cheers

Great tutorial Bill, I will be replacing my filters on Monday on my 2016 F-350. In watching all these videos, I didn't realize I had to replace them within 22,000 miles(I'm at 51k). I also liked how you showed to purge it every stage(lower filter then upper) Thx again, I will be following your videos.

@felixoses6002 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip. Turning casing 3X before opening drain valve. Other videos don’t talk about it.

@chosonnow630 5 ай бұрын

Thank you, I watched some other videos and everyone including a ford guy said to drain it first, well after over a gallon came out I did some searching and found yours. Thanks for saving my diesel

My pump on the rail was making noise after replacement. Engine light came on stating low fuel pressure, how can you bleed air after filters have already been replaced? Pump is not making noise anymore though?

@jeffisaacson6011 2 ай бұрын

My top housing keeps spinning along with the bottom housing. Any advice?

@billmoorman7302 28 күн бұрын

Did you strip the threads on the lower bowl? If so, probably need to replace it.

@FormerGorilla Жыл бұрын

So, did you wait until your fuel level was low? I tried changing mine last night, after getting fuel. It would not stop draining. Huge mess. Wasted 1-2 gallons of fuel and still didn't get it changed. I tightened it all up will try again when the tank isn't so full I guess.

@billmoorman7302 Жыл бұрын

Not really. I looked at the end of the video and it looks like I had 3/4 full. Did you follow the video and crack open the filter housing before opening the drain valve?

@KendrasEdge757 Жыл бұрын

That’s because you didn’t break the siphon first. You gotta open the housing 3-4 turns and then it’ll stop draining and you can remove the filter. If you just open the valve it creates a siphon and it’ll theoretically drain the tank. You can also change both filters, or the upper filter and lower fuel/water separator and THEN prime the system 6-7 times. You don’t need to prime it twice once in between the lower and upper and once after. That’s just overkill.

@FormerGorilla Жыл бұрын

Thanks guys. I waited until I had about 1/2 tank then also twisted it until I had 3-4 turns (maybe more) before cracking the bleeder. It did stop gushing fuel and I was able to get it changed.

@KendrasEdge757 Жыл бұрын

@@FormerGorilla yeah i noticed you did that and figured you already knew that. People also need to be draining it monthly for about 10sec from what a diesel tech told me. I just keep a quart mason jar for that and then let it sit for 24hrs so if you do have any water it’ll separate from the diesel. High quality diesel fuel from high turnover stations, change your fuel filters every 10-15k miles, use a good additive at every fillup, and you’re less likely to have any CP4 failures down the road. Great video! A lot of people screw this up by either NOT swapping the O-Rings, not tightening the case up to the stop, or tightening it past the stop and cracking their housing. Good for stressing that on here as well!

You probably left the key on lol

If you replace both at the same time and then purge the air afterward, and then the truck doesn't start, you don't know whether something went wrong during the primary filter replacement or the secondary replacement. Just my two cents...

@billmoorman7302 2 жыл бұрын

My thoughts exactly!

@Doc.Holiday Жыл бұрын

Is there any reason why you can’t purge the air after changing both filters instead of doing it twice?

@billmoorman7302 Жыл бұрын

You probably could, but I wanted to make sure it held prime after each filter change just so I could isolate an issue if it occurred!

if you dont purge that air out of the bottom filter you will be buying a new fuel pump 450 dollar mistake like what i did.....

Can't believe you're not wearing gloves and getting diesel fuel all over you.

Truth be told, I usually wear gloves but I was out this day and wanted to get it done and filmed. I only do this twice or so a year so I felt okay without gloves, but if I did it all the time I would wear PPE for sure.

Most import part at the end it’s missing don’t start your truck before you fill the filter with diesel do your 30 second deal

@billmoorman7302 Жыл бұрын

I believe I mentioned cycling the key on and off 6 times? That’s what the FSM states to do before firing the ignition. I even did it after the first filter and the second.

@ronshortridge2479 Жыл бұрын

Fuel system was cycled at the completion of each filter. Bill produced an excellent video and very easy to comprehend if you pay attention. Great job Bill !
