The Ford Truck dealer here quoted me $56 for the fuel heater with the part # of
F5TZ9J294A. Is this what I need?

They told me their is an internal heater and an external heater.

How hard is this job and what tools will I need?

Thanks,

Solder it back together....The stand pipe is a left hand thread .. I think 7/8 , crows foot will work.. BTW ..there is only one heater ,, its in the bowl....

I recently read that the fuel heater is also a milage improver as pre-heated fuel atomizes better and burns more efficiently

Thats something I have not though of with the fuel heater. I would have to believe though that once the fuel enters the head it gets heated plenty there. But I suppose that is very possible.
