Fuel Filters
We recently got a couple of 6.0's at work and I just discovered that there is an additional fuel filter on the frame rail. I went to the local auto parts store and they only list 1 fuel filter on these trucks. Is the frame rail filter the same one as under the hood? If not where do I go to get them?
Thanks for the help.

You most likely have to go to Ford on the fuel filter inside the frame rail. That filter in the frame rail also is where you will drain water off from the fuel system, you'll know when, the light will come on saying "Water in Fuel". You'll need an allen wrench....... No they're not the same filter's.

Here is a link to the instructions on how to change the fuel filters.

If you have a local International repair/parts shop they are about the cheapest place to get them. The International part number is 1847170. Here is a link to International's dealer locator.

Finally, if you don't have a local International dealer, here is a website with them for sale really cheap.

Whats the benefit to having a 2nd filter that nobody carries? Sounds like a dumb idea to me. Thanks for the part # Beerstalker. I have a IH dealer fairly close. Do you have the part number for the under hood fuel filter handy? As long as I'm making the trip I might as well stock up on both of them. If not I'll do a search and find it.
Thanks for the help.

Too many years experience just changing one filter under the hood, no one thought to look for a place for the other filter to go.

The primary one on the frame rail catched the most stuff anyways - ouch!!!!
The HFCM (frame rail filter) filters down to a certain micron level and also acts as the water seperator. The secondary filter (on the motor) filters to a lower micron level to ensure 99.99% filtering and less clogging.
Look in my gallery under "fuel" and you will see pictures of filters and the locations of both filter assemblies.
