One of the best videos on fuel maintenance I have seen. Excellent advice!!

Great video, thanks for making this and showing all the details. Now going out to change my broken fuel filter drain valve, wish me luck.

I like to drain my filters every 5,000 miles. Some people do it more often others less often. I typically get my fuel at the same station so I know what is going into my truck...5,000 works for me. Thank you.

I really appreciate the video just changed mine this weekend and I barely turned it and it broke trying to see were to purchase a new one now

Great video! Straight forward and to the point. Thanks!

I ran into the jam you are referring too Saturday after work 🙄 Drain valve snapped off and it was after 2pm. No one had the valve in stock and both Ford dealerships were closed here in Sarasota fL. SPE billet valve in the mail. Truck is sitting for a couple days 🙃🔫

Thanks! I’ll be buying 2 of those tomorrow!

Many Thanks for the video and showing me how to swap it out. I have 2 more ordered and should arrive in a week or so. Well I had heard of getting another one of these but thought why should I buy one since why would it fail since I hardly use it and my trucks pretty new. Well guess what? My 2018 F350 6.7 failed last night. Today cost me a hour long round trip cab ride to the nearest Ford dealer. Last night while in a Campground and having a hard time getting moist wood started by the Campfire I decided to do a slight drain and use the diesel for helping get the logs started. Well when I went to screw it back into the closed position it just fell out. Both plastic pegs were broken off. WHAT A BAD DESIGN! A $5 Ford part that disables my 65K truck after only 2 years and very little use. I intend to send the broken piece to Ford and let them know what I think of it in no uncertain terms. My last truck a 2017 F150 had a leaking plastic oil pan after only 2K miles. I am done with Fords after this truck and going to give Chevy a try next time. I have at least a dozen Ford products over my lifetime and it seems they never learn and are now going backwards.

Super Duty helpful. Just had to have the beast towed because of broken seperator relief connection. Ordering part per your advice! Thanks! 2019 f350 etc…..

Reading through these comments, water is heavier.....so drain an ounce and shut it off. If no water in that, you shouldn't have to drain anymore.

Good info, but you should consider the SPE billet aluminum fuel drain valve. Eliminates the plastic tabs so you won’t need several back up plastic plugs!

Thanks!

Don’t forget the secondary fuel filter under the hood! :)

Excellent video.....Well Done

There is a company called SPE that sells a replacement in billet

Thanks for head's up . Mine is due approx 6Km, going to get me that plug .

SPE makes a billet drain valve

Great video. thanks!

Nice tip, thanks!

Great video. I have 6k miles on my truck and I plan to drain the fuel thanks to your video. Thanks. BTW, how often do you change your oil. curious

I broke the black plastic grove one of the yellow pins slide in. The plug sits tight when it’s in the closed position, but falls out when I open it. Is the housing easily replaceable?

Man I just snapped mine what a piece of crap design luckily the dealer had one in stock

Any thoughts on the after market billet drain plug?

buy an aluminum cnc machined plug, screw the plastic one.

I went to drain mine and the plug fell out. Same thing those little tabs are broke

Walmart near me would not accept used motor oil with fuel mixed in. The employee sniffs all the jugs before accepting them.

How did you get the fuel to stop flowing without the plug? Mine just flows and flows diesel. I reseated the plug but it feels like its attached on one pin/one side. I'm kinda scared to drive it.

I tried to drain my seperator and it never stopped running out. Filled up a bucket and stopped. What could that be?

It’s not new on the 2017. They have it on the 2008 6.4 too and they all break and you can get metal one just pricey

Did anyone get an excessive amount of extra fuel from draining their separator on the frame? I ended up running my battery's down priming the pump so many times because I got 2 to 3 gallons of extra you will out of the something must be wrong

Dang Dude - you are such a Repeater. We are not ignorant. Don't have to be told the same thing 14 times. You took 15 minutes to say something that we can grasp in about 4 or 5 minutes MAX.

buy a FASS fuel system
