6 mm. If you don't get the upgraded HFCM plug then this allen wrench is a necessity. A friend had his WIF light come on on the way home from a weekend trip. He went through two SMALL towns (on a Sunday) and drove 50 miles to get home before being able to drain. No one in these small towns had a 6 mm wrench. He had filled up with bad fuel and he was draining that HFCM for about a week until the light quit coming on.

Good catch and glad to hear you didn't have water in your fuel.

Tell them it is for a LCF medium duty truck and a special order part. They may have to check a different system or area of the Ford parts system to find and special order. My local dealer ordered it and it took 2 days to get in.
Good luck,

Forgive me if this is posted else ware, I’m new. However, does anyone have the International part numbers for the fuel filters? I bought the new plug thanks to blackhat620, and while I'm down there I might as well change the filter

You have to go to the Ford heavy truck dealer to get them. I will try to pick mine up this weekend.
Some are smart enough to look it up and others are just dumb or lazy???
Glad you got it though.
