Review on ️ 3/16 Inch ARES 70024 Scissor Disconnect Tool by Victor Houser

Fuel Filter Removal Tool F-150

This tool worked great for removing the fuel filter from my 2007 F-150. The fuel line didn't want to come loose easily so all I had to do was use a screwdriver between this tool and the fuel filter as leverage and the old filter came loose. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to change the fuel filter. BTW, Ford recommends changing them every 30,000 miles, but I only changed mine at 100,000, all the black dirt came out of the old filter, so I'll change it more often in the future. Also, very important, first make sure you depressurize the fuel system. Under the truck, you can disconnect the fuel pump with a quick disconnect harness, then try starting the engine a few times, and finally disconnect the battery negative terminal. Keep a small bucket handy as the old filter contains about 1/2 cup of fuel. After changing the filter, reconnect the fuel pump and the negative terminal of the battery. Turn the key to the "on" position several times before attempting to start the engine. This forces the fuel through the filter and makes starting easier. Much luck!

Pros
  • APPLICATIONS: This disconnect tool is required for servicing the fuel, heater and air conditioning lines on many newer model vehicles. Use it to unlock locking mechanisms on 3/8" and 5/16" fuel lines. GM compatible (1989 and up), Ford compatible (1990 and up), and Mazda compatible (some 1990 and up).
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
