fuel filter question.
I have a question on the fuel filter on the frame rail. Is there two different kinds? The one I took out is black with no lip on the part that goes in. I bought a Ford oem set from a wholesale online supplier. This filter has a extended lip and an o ring on the lip. I went to the auto parts store and their Fram filter looked the same. Does this sound right? If so, do I just push that extended lip in with some force?

Nevermind... After googling and searching around for a while I have found they did update the design. There isn't a lot of information out on this surprisingly, and for how much the length differs, it could really throw a new owner off if they are unaware of it.

You got the right stuff. The box should of had some instructions too. Just match them up with the old ones when you take them out.
Be prepared for a bath on the lower one when you take it out.

I already got the bath when I took the old one out. I think it ruined my carhart jacket. I just have the cap screwed on now to keep the dirt out. I'm goin to put the new filter in this morning now that I know what's going on.

Wash your jacket in listerine.. i read that somewhere.. i did my filters 2 weeks ago.. got all over my jeans, boxers, and hoodie i was wearing.. i haven't washed it yet in listerine.. but apparently that gets the smell out.. maybe take it to a laundromat as to not smell up your washer in your house..
