Changed fuel filter found something
I just did my fuel filter for the first time and the whoever changed it last left 2 orings on lol. Pretty simple job. it didnt want to fire right away though. I left key on and off 6 times before trying but it eventually fired up.

its normal after you change your filter, if it continues to do it then you have an issue. The lift pump does not turn on with the key you need to bump the starter in order to engage the lift pump.. and it still takes a lil wile for them to fire but its normal.

A fuel gauge is excellent for determining when fuel filters need to be changed. When my fuel pressure drops a few psi I change my filters. Filters actually filter better the older they get.

The only thing a used filter is "likely" to do is clog. The buildup of contaminants on the dirty side of the filter media increases their ability to trap ever finer particulates right up until that point. That is why a fuel pressure gauge (not the odometer) should be your main fuel filter monitoring tool. The primary filter on my 1st Gen has been in service over three years. Oil filters are a different story. |
I was on another site and a guy is changing his Cat filters every 3K and he was doing to to get the best filtration. We tried to explain how it worked, but........

I had a ford superduty with the 6.blow
And that one had a water seperator filter does the dodge filter do the same ?? The older the filter would get the more water it would pass right ???? |
