The FPR housing is secured to the fuel bowl with 2 torx bolts externally. You have to disconnect the return line and remove the two screws. The spring pressure is substantial so remove the screws evenly, a little on one side and then the other so you do not put undue stress on the housing bolt ears.

Like Dan said, check you in-tank screens first.

You guys ROCK !!!
Cleaned the two screens in the canister. Don't know how fuel could even get through them. Want to thank Chris for the suggestion and especially the picture. A lot of good suggestions and information. My truck now runs great again.

Thanks again !!
Frank

I recently had the same problem with my 2000 F-350 DRW. The trash in my tank was the tank lining. It was flaking off and I finally had to replace the tank. I realize this was an extreme case but thought it would be of interest.

If that ever happens to mine, I'm going with a 68 gal Titan tank.
