Fuel line valve

Is there a valve or other shutoff somewhere in the fuel line?

There is one at the water seperator, shuts the fuel off to remove the filter...?

Also one behind the passenger side kick panel to shut off fuel in an accident, has a push button reset IRC.

I've changed the fuel filters myself, No fuel drains out of the tank when you take the filter out. I'm pretty sure the lift pump inside the tank or just upstream of the filter housing controls that. No power, no flow. It's not gravity feed.

The fuel cutoff switch mentioned is either activated or not. It's not something that will behave oddly. I'd check it anyway though. If you are really having bad issues why don't you just take it to a dealer?

I agree take into the dealer, if there is an issue.

It's done this since new. I've replaced both fuel filters. The dealer hss sent their diagnostics report to Ford.

Although it doesn't display "Low Fuel Pressure" it is acting like some kind of restriction. But then I don't know where the fuel line pressure sensor is located. I'll have to inspect the fuel line front to back I guess. A pinched line is never out of the question.
