In tank fuel filter

[xboxrox]

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.

Exactly ~ the replacement filter did not have the four little hooks designed to fit into the four holes in the cap ~ so I used fine non rusting wire to hold the filter onto the cap.
