What is this?I have removed this on my truck, due to having a leak here in the past. Just can't remember what it is.

 

All I see is a red x. No picture. I hate it when that happens.


I can see it now. Must be my computer.......

 

I don't know what happened. When I open it, I can see it. Maybe some one will tell me what I did wrong.

 

That is the fuel filter restriction sensor.

 

I thought it was a water in fule sensor?????????

 

That's the top sensor on filter canister, fuel filter restriction. Very bottom sensor is water in fuel.

 

the ford dealer looked that part up for me and they said it was a vacume censer. so i bought a new one b/c it was weeping fuel there.

 

Thanks for the clear up. I too thought it was the water/ fuel sensor. I plugged mine about 6 months ago. Hopefully doesn't cause any problems down the road. I also change my fuel filter every time I change my oil.

 

old thread but I need an international "preferably" or ford part number for the fuel filter restriction sensor
Looks exactly like the one in the O/P pic above for my 97, it's dripping and none of my local supply sources have it listed.

ANYONE Please

 

Ford-E8TZ-9S283-A,

International-1809435c1

 

As long as u change the filter at least ever other oil change u can plug that with a 1/8" pipe plug. Just my .02

 

Ford calls it a vacuum sensor in their computer. That was probably the right part he was looking at.

 

Thanks, International 25$, ford 65$ go figure

 

if i plug it off then it wont throw a code if the filter plugs so for 25$ cheap engine light trigger, might save me a tow

 

I plugged mine back in '07. Haven't worried about it ever again. I just change the filter out every year or so and carry a spare just in case.
