IF, and that's a big IF, I understand you, you had a CEL. You found it was the fuel filter. You changed it. The CEL went away. The truck runs fine. But you can still see the codes.
I think this is normal. Codes are stored for some time.
If it continues to run fine and you have no CEL, you are good.
And please, I know you are probably on a phone, but try to use punctuation, sentences, paragraphs.
Or at least just do bullet points with a space between.
It really helps us understand.
And only someone who understands can help.
Thank you.

I would opt to just leave the codes since you don't have a proper code reader to remove them.
As long as the check engine light remains off.
For future reference, Drain the water separator monthly and step up your fuel filter changes. If you have never changed them then I would suggest a 15K interval.
If you were changing them at such an interval, then reduce that to a shorter interval.

So I'm 63 never had a clogged fuel filter in any vehicle...Dropped 10 or so tanks and was perfectly clean inside.
So whats in your tank and was the filter clogged ? did you take it apart? If it was clogged whats in the tank?
you mean its an oil burner? never mind.
