It has one serviceable fuel filter located on the left hand side frame. The second one is a screen in the fuel take which is part of the fuel pump assembly.

You will need a tool that you will push up into the line to release the clips then just pull the line off. First pic is the tool the second it how you use it. If you need any more help let me know.

I bought truck for a friend 4 mo. Ago. Was running fine. Started it regularly. 6 weeks ago started loping at idle. Friend backed out on deal last week. Had bad fuel. Would not run. Emptied tank, checked pump, changed primary filter, Idle air sensor, Sp. Plugs. Runs butlopes when idling. No vacuum problem. Need advice. Have mechanical experience on Carb's but little on fuel inj. Could it be EGR related or is there another idle controller/sensor I don't know about? Thanks!

OK there is only one fuel filter on this on this truck there is no primary or secondary. You did change the filter that looks like a large can right? Now what I would like you to do is get some throttle body cleaner and lean the throttle body out really good. Let me know how it works. You will need a digital multi meter to do some test from here.

Do you mean pull the throttle body and soak in throttle body cleaner or is this a spray cleaner you use while the engine is running?

Ok get some throttle body cleaner and rags. Put a couple of rags below the throttle body and first with the throttle closed spray it out. Now open it and spray it down some more and use another rag to wipe it out real good. Now you can go ahead and start it and see how it runs.

Replaced fuel pump. No fuel going from fuel tank area/fuel pump to the front of motor/intake area. I'm not getting any fuel up front where I need to be. Fuel pump is functioning like it should be. Fuel fuse/fuel relay both work. Fuel pump switch works. Why am I not able to get fuel to my injectors.

Hello,

This sounds like it could be a fuel filter problem. The fuel when it is pumped from the fuel tank passes through a filter before it makes it to your vehicle's fuel rail. When this filter gets plugged, then little to no fuel will make it to your vehicle's engine. Here is a link for you to go to:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-change-a-fuel-filter

In the diagrams down below I have also included the factory instructions for the removal and installation of your vehicle'
s fuel filter. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

I am trying to locate the fuel filter. The engine starts and idles fine, but cuts out at about 10mph. I want to change the filter to see if that helps, but I can't find it! An engine diagram would be helpful as I am no mechanic.

The fuel filter is located in the framing on the driver side, in front of the gas tank.

There is a tool that has to be slipped inside to release it.

Where would I locate the fuel filter for the F-150 Custom I have just acquired. In the morning it runs great, sometimes in the afternoon after driving it for a lot of miles it will start to sputter, and backfire. Then it will stop running. You can let it sit for a while and it will start but run as if its running out of gas.
Next day it works fine. Any ideas?

In the frame, under the truck, under the driver seat area, hidden by the fuel tank - if you have dual tanks.

Mine was ruptured with rust - AND -- I discovered the dam thang had special connectors -- requiring a special tool -- that didn't work because it was so rusted.

So you know what I did? I Hacksawed off the connectors, bought a 3$ WalMart gas filter ( 9$ otherwise) and some rubber hose from Autozone, and clamped in the new filter!

Runs perfectly!

And no special connectors!
