Fuel Filter, where would I find it on the 93 Aerostar 4.0L

This weekend I planning on changing wires, plugs and fuel filter.

Thanks

Crawl under the van at the driver’s door. Look up. It’s located on the inside of the frame/rail. It a cylindrical can shape. Two clips hold the fuel lines. One on each end. One clamp holds the filter. Watch for the fuel flow direction. Don’t reverse the filter. It’s really simple to change and will not take long.

It goes without being said…remove fuel pressure, work on stands/ramps not jacks…the usual.

 

This would be the perfect time to go to an auto parts store & spend the 15 bucks for a Haynes manual. It will tell you where the filter is, how to release the fuel system pressure (very simple) so you dont spray yourself with fuel & how to remove & replace the filter.

 

Thanks for the reply..........now I won't waste time looking for the fuel filter. But how do I release the fuel presure?

Thanks Again
Robert

 

Like I said it's all explained in the Haynes manual. Simply remove the connector from the inertia switch & crank the engine for 30 seconds.

 

I took the passenger's kick panel loose and found the fuel cutoff switch. It has a red reset button on it. I unplugged it and then tried to start the engine. I also removed the fuel cap.

Put a pan under the filter because there will still be fuel in the lines.
