How do you change a 86 Ford F150 fuel filter?

Jul 02, 2011 by Cheyenne Peterson | Posted in Ford

Where is the fuel filter, and what do we have to do to change it?

inside of the frame on the driver side. you need a filter release tool to take the lines off. they are not difficult to da after you have that.
