Filling Fuel Filter
I changed my fuel filters twice myself and had no trouble starting my truck using the prescribed cycling of the key switch.
The third time they were due to be changed I was away from home and took my truck into River Oaks Ford in Calumet City, Illinois. They changed my oil and filter and fuel filters.
I was where I could watch the tech change the secondary fuel filter. He took a can and poured fuel in that housing. I complained about that to the service writer. He said they always did it that way because some of these were really hard to start after changing fuel filters. I told him mine had started right up for me both times I changed filters without priming the secondary that way.
I don't believe I'll ever take the truck back there for a fuel filter change! What say ye about this priming method?

My sentiments exactly! That's why I was appalled to see them doing such a thing.

Ive changed my fuel filters twice now and helped a friend once. Each time, we cycled the key as the owners manual states and had zero problems. Not to say that others wont, but worked as advertised for me.
