    In tank fuel filter

    Replaced the in tank fuel filter & external fuel filter... Truck runs better, no more nagging miss at low RPM load... Also noted, the gas tank capacity is 18 gallons not 15...The gas tank drain plug has a rubber washer not a copper washer... I don't know the Part No. for the gasket/washer but it would be smart to have it on hand or some soft butyl rubber sheet when doing this... Visually inspected 24 hours later & no leaks...

    Great photos. Did you have to drop the gas tank to get to the fuel filter?

    Thanks...
    No did not drop the tank... If you can get a replacement gasket for the tank drain plug that would be great. I put a little clean motor oil on the gasket & metal plug before torquing it in. No leaks

    To clarify, the in-tank filter (really more of a coarse debris screen) is attached to the drain plug in the bottom of the tank, so when you remove the plug, the filter basket should come out along with it.
