The PO of my '03 Ranger Edge for some unknown reason REMOVED the colored clips at the fuel filter and installed the (INCORRECT) older style larger fuel filter and somehow used the still older style barbed clips which some call "hairpin" clips.

I have removed HIS blunder, INSTALLED the correct filter, but find that I need the GREEN AND ORANGE plastic clips to put back in the connectors to finally secure the lines TO the filter.

I can find pictures, but no clips......does anyone know where I can find these clips?

-Thanks!

 

I wish you luck. I believe the white clips are available every where auto parts are sold but the colored ones are not. Last time I checked, ford wanted $300 for the colored clips because they only sold them with the fuel lines lol. Hopefully someone will offer a better experience than me
WIX at one time sold the clips with their filters but I don't know if that is true or not anymore.

 

Use a zip tie

 

Guys, I have found clips that I believe will work without replacing my lines.

DORMAN #s 800-042, 800-043, 800-044....I ordered them online because none of the local box auto parts stores had them in stock....

Hoping they fit and work.

If I could find the PO of my truck I'd cut his nuts off for destroying and removing the simple push in style clips!!

 

Please tell me you aren't serious??
