Fuel filter
my friend has a 2004 F 150 with the 5.4 liter triton which i believe needs a fuel filter replacement.. where is this filter located and is it hard to change?
I remember my 2000 f 150 it was on the frame rail under the drivers seat
Thanks

I agree that you don't need to do that. Just unnecessary steps. I changed my fuel filter today on my 2001 5.4 superduty. I had to start the truck and pulled it up on ramps to make more room to get under it and less than 5 minutes later I was under it disconnecting the fuel lines and maybe an ounce or less of gas came out of the lines. A simple two minute job (without unplugging the fuel pump).

I never ran the gas out ,until I replaced a filter on my friends truck [and like the perfect storm everything lined up just right] and about 1 ounce of gas shot straight into my eye. It feels like battery acid for about 5 mins. then it just burns like hell for about 30 mins. This a high pressure fuel system it will retain some pressure even when engine is not running. But no big deal WE ALL HAVE TWO EYES
