fuel filter

[mohog]

does anyone here know if it takes some special tool to take off a fuel filter on a 94 explorer?

Yes, you will need a Ford fuel line tool, available at most auto parts stores for about $10.

edit: I noticed you posted the same question in the UTH forum, PLEASE don't double post!

I have used the KD # 3321 on my 96 XLT. Release fuel pressure first!!

for safety reasons relieve the fuel pressure before you remove it. congrats on the new title robb!!!

I managed to take off the fuel filter without using that special tool (I don't recommend it). For those that know how it locks in place its quite impossible but I did it. I just used a long nose plier to reshape the pins back to the original shape. So, yea, $10 for that tool is worth the money.

$10 for the tool vs. $15 for someone else

Seeing the mechanic getting soaked in 87 octane: Priceless
