Question Fuel Filter Location

Hello,

Have a 1999 power stroke 7.3l.....Am I BLIND? Where on earth is the fuel Filter located? There is a cover I know....Only thing I could find is what looks like the pump under the rail.

Thxs

The fuel filter is on top of the engine under the decorative cover.

Here (I hope) are a couple of photos that may help. One show the relative location of the fuel filter and the other one shows where the fuel drain valve is. (You'll be wanting to know where that is eventually)

I have a 1996 F-350 with the diesel engine. I have been changing the fuel filter under the hood. But, are there any other fuel filters on my truck? Such as under the truck?
Thanks,
Alton

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was getting dirty because the truck was bogging down, so I removed the filter and it was very clean looking. So...I just wondered it there was another one somewhere.

There's a little screen in the filter housing about an inch down on the drivers side to clean off too. Just take a qtip, break the cotton off and clean it.

Have you checked your fuel pressure?

Just because Ford did not install another filter does not mean that a previous owner didn't.

My 97 has a fuel filter down right in front of the tank selector valve mounted on the inside of the frame.
