Been looking but cant seem to find drain for fuel filter, want to change filter but its my first and "no book"

 

The drain is located on the passenger side of the fuel filter housing. Usually a yellow lever but I have seen them black. Just turn the lever 90 degrees and let it drain for about 30 seconds and you're done.

 

Yea - depending on what year you have it's down in back of the fuel filter housing - can't hardly see it.

 

Ditto what JMorton said...unless you've got a 6.0 then I couldn't tell ya where it's at.

 

Its the 2000 7.3

 

The drain outlet is on the passenger side and is close to the front of the block.You got to crawl under the passenger side and look for a 1/4" dia.+/- metal drain tube.
Do yourself a favor and cut a length of old garden hose and slide it over the outlet and drop the other end of the hose into a jug.
When you open the drain, fuel splatters on the ground and around the motor if you don't direct it into a container.

 

Worked like a charm...Thanks!

 

I second the motion of cutting a piece of hose to catch the diesel since it stains the pavement.

 

It sure does....What a mess

 

If I remember correctly, I think you need 5/16" hose.
