You are correct. That's where I would start. O.E.M.

Thanks for coming back and posting your results.

How did you figure out it was your ICP sensor?

Guys/ Gals my Motorcraft source quoted me about $61.00 the other day for the Fuel bowl filter .

I used to pay about $45.00?

Motorcraft part number FD - 4596 aka Ford part number F81Z - 9N184- AA

I know others here on FTE are using aftermarket filters and beveled gasket .

Info, links, part numbers would be nice.

Thank you all!

This is what I’m buying now.

I also run a different fuel bowl lid O Ring. There was a thread in the FAQ about it and I’m happy with the results so far.

I was just looking through the tech folder.

Seems the Diesel Fuel Lubricity additive chart may have a mistake?

Note line 4 Opti-Lube Summer blend; ratio shows 3000:1

All the other choices are much smaller ratio?
