2006 SD V-10 Fuel Filter problem
Greetings Folks,
I went to change the fuel filter on my 06 f250 CC V-10 today and was unable to get my release tool to work. I also noticed that the fuel line fittings are different than my 01 f150. These fittings appear to have a blue plastic ring inside the end where you insert the release tool.
I have changed this type of filter before, but not on my 06. Does anyone know if Fomoco has changed the type of fittings used on the fuel filters? Thanks.

I don't know why, but this rings a bell...

PS The connectors are different from previous years, they appear much larger although they still use a 3/8 tool. There is a blue plastic ring that is partially visible from the outside but they still unlock the same way.

I have wondered that too. It looks like you can just push the blue clips and pull it off. I haven't tried, but with 11k miles I am getting close.

I was able to get it done using a 3/8 removal tool, it just looks alot different from the older style. There is no metal flip collar around it, and the diameter of the connector piece seems to be much larger although it still uses the same size tool. I am not sure what the blue clips do, they seem to be part of the clip that holds the filter. I just made sure to push the fuel line towards the filter as far as possible, then inserted the tool and the line popped right off.

There was supposed to be a clip that would make sure the fuel line would never come off - I wonder if you forced your way through that second clip?
Some 2005 SD's were recalled at one point to either upgrade or install a new clip on the fuel filter.
