Thanks

What a great forum, I have a 2006 f250 dealer wanted 100 bucks to change fuel filters(labor), and 200 bucks to put block heater cord on. From this web site I a 43 female was able to change both fuel filters on my own, and install a block heater cord (bought on ebay for 21.70) in 45 mins. that included running in on the frame and secureing it. Thanks to all. Great fourn.

What did you use to get off the underneath filter?

I used a 36mm short socket, its really tight so short strokes, but it works, don't forget to use a 6mm allen wrench on drain plug. If you forget you will take a fuel bath.

Get a "lisle" socket at any auto parts store. It is shorter than a regular socket and pretty cheap ($6 or $7). It fits better than a regular socket.
