Oil Change Update + ?? on Fuel Filter Change
Oil Change Update:
Last post, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/960472-oil-change-issue-update.html<O></O>
<O></O>
Update: Changed oil a few days ago after 4600 miles, had 17 quarts drain out, less than last oil change. Still making oil, so getting use to it.<O></O>
<O></O>
Fuel Filter Change??<O></O>
<O></O>
Also changed out the fuel filters. Question is relative to how much fuel drains out before you can change the rail filter.<O></O>
The process I use is to drain diesel out from the rail filter chamber by opening the water drain. Recent change, I drained at least 3 gals out. Gave up draining because it wouldn't stop. Removed cap on the rail filter chamber, got a diesel bath, changed filter and recapped. Took a shower and I still stunk!!! <O></O>
<O></O>
How much diesel drains out when you guys change out the fuel filters? What are you doing to minimize the amount of diesel that drains out?<O></O>
<O></O>
Wondering if next time I should pull out the fuel pump fuse to prevent the pump from pumping diesel into the fuel line????<O></O>
<O></O>
What do you guys think??<O></O>

I changed mine two weeks ago. I first pulled the cap on the engine filter, then drained the other. I used a 28 oz water bottle, and a couple of oz more. When I pulled the cap on that filter I had drips on the frame rail that I wiped up with a rag. I really didn't get that much from the dripping. All this with 3/4 tank, level ground. Was a PIA with the wires but not bad overall. I have an '09.
