Review on Motorcraft FD 4616 Fuel Filter by Brandon Henry

Tips and Tricks Best Fuel Filters

Use a 35-36mm short socket for the bottom filter, a 6mm allen wrench for the water separator, and a 24mm or 1/2" weather actuator . Loosen the fuel tank cap to relieve any pressure Place an oil pan under the lower filter to catch water and fuel. Drain the water separator, tighten it first, then remove the frame filter (flat seat is best). Then turn it slightly clockwise to fix it. Slide a new o-ring onto the cap, then thread onto the filter and torque to 18.5 ft-lbs. Secondary (small filter) use a 1/2" ratchet, 24mm or 15/16" socket. Clear. Replace o-ring and filter, then reset to 10.3 ft-lbs or 14 Nm. Turn on the key 4-6 times for 30 seconds to deflate and pump fuel. To run! I cut the water trap off the filter to inspect. ss glue but not bad. Primary - 10 microns, and the second - 4 microns. The part numbers printed on the filters have changed since I replaced them 1.5 years ago. These are OEM Racor/mc filters. Photos are attached. I love my 6.0!
