Fuel Filter blue retaining clips.

While changing the filter, I broke both of the blue clips, trying to pull the center release out. I guess I neglected to put forward pressure on the fitting to allow it to move. Anyways, anyone know if the ones sold for the f150 are the same?

It should be the same. I always get two new clips in the filter box from Napa but to the best of my knowledge, Ford hasn't changed these in a long time.

Ok, that's done!
1. Follow these steps.
2. If they break, like mine did.

3. Buy these.
They are an exact replacement, at least on my 2007 they are.



Ford Dealer told me no, they are not. He wanted to sell $500 fuel lines.

Figures. I keep some on hand JIC I break them.

Not all dealerships are created equal. Knowing what things "should" cost and the technical work involved also helps. If you have a warranty item or another that revolves around a published TSB (Technical Service Bulletin), bring a copy of the TSB with you if requesting service or repair for this item. It really helps prove that you are watching.

YMMVOC but based on my own personal experience.

I created a short blog about this. I would hate to see someone paying $500 for fuel lines when they don't need to. It can be found here.
