Motorcraft - FG-1083 FG1083 Fuel Filter

Ordered this to replace the fuel filter on my 2006 Mustang GT. The fuel filter is under the car on the drivers side. You have to remove a plastic panel then disconnect the fuel line from both ends of the filter and then slide the filter out of the bracket toward the front of the car. Before you do all that though you will want to remove the fuse for the fuel pump and crank the car over a few times to depressurize the fuel lines. You'll still get some fuel spill from the filter itself but you'll avoid a big mess. It helps to jack the car up a bit on the drivers side to get a bit more room. New filter fit right in and fuel lines connected up perfectly. Don't forget to put the fuse back in place before you start the car back up. Great OEM quality. Recommended.

Fácil de instalar

Great original part with fast shipping!

Installed on a 2008 F250 5.4L 2v V8. My truck didn't have the pain in the arse connections like some fords do, so I only had to use the fuel line disconnect tools to get it loosened and off (it was very old and rusted to the fuel line somewhat; grime etc..)Once installed and allowed to prime it all worked great and no leaks!

Fit the 2005 Ford Sprot track

Muy buena pieza de remplazo para mí explorer

I have no problem with this filter, and it appears to look very close to my vehicle's original filter. I would buy this again. Be warned that removing and replacing the filter can be difficult. The main problem is that Ford used quick-connect fittings to connect the fuel lines to the filter. Those are great for installing, but they're a real pain to get disconnected. There are two ways to remove and replace this filter: 1) Get the right tool to disconnect the old filter, or 2) cut the metal lines and graft the new filter in with rubber fuel line and hose clamps. I opted for method #1. I bought, from Amazon, "OTC 6509 Fuel Line Disconnect Tool" and that tool was junk. I returned that and got a set locally of tools similar to "Lisle 37000 Air Conditioning/Fuel Line Disconnect Tool Set ". These are the simple plastic ones that clip onto the fuel line. You still have to apply some pressure and push or pull the disconnect tool the right way, but these did the trick for me.In summary, this filter is great, but removing the old filter was a pain. It was a 15 minute job that took 2 hours including buying a different disconnect tool from the local auto parts store.

Great quality fuel filter!
