ford dealer isnt much better.
I called and asked for olives on the fuel lines at the FF head.
they had the 3/8 inlet but said the 5/16 outlet I'd have to buy the whole fuel line...
I looked up the part number on the web and called back, oh the next town over has 1.called that dealership, no...
thanks to type4 for getting me the olives and return lines!
they showed up today and now we are running again!
all the fuel lines from the front tank and just past the FSV have been replaced, a new lock ring and gasket for the front tank,a new WIX water seperator and base, and a new WIX fuel...
thanks for that, so the addon hose should be at most 3" past the clamp!
I also ordered the
Wix 24770 Filter Mounting Base, Amazon.com LLC
Wix 33439 Spin-On Fuel and Water Separator Filter, Amazon.com LLC
total for both was $47.34
Autozone has the lockring and o-ring in dorman #579-003 pricey at $15
they also said they had about 20 different sock filters and I'm going to see if one of them can be adapted to work with the addon fuel hose
does anyone know the correct length of addon hose to replace the showhead?
+1...
Thanks a bunch, that helps!
Whats this add on your talking about? mine has a piece of fuel line clamped at the end, is that the add on? Has anyone used a sock on there to prefilter whats being sucked up? also i noticed it was prety hard to blow into the return, some kind of tiny wedge filter on...
well I pulled my fuel tank today because it was dripping fuel when full.
I expected to find a rusted out sending unit or locking ring, but everything looked ok. ( no rust)
there is NO shower head on the end of the sending unit and it's not in the tank either. I have a 4" piece of fuel line at...
ok, so I got the front tank out today.
I can't see any damage as to why it was leaking, other than the big oring under the sending unit is pretty crusty and old.
the sending unit has the ford logo and E3TF-9275-AC
there wasn't a shower head on the pick up and I siphoned ALL the fuel outa the...

Wyreth,
thanks for confirning the mystery nipple in the FF head.
I've updated my PM to Typ4 to include the return line kit with the olives, and have been studying RavenTBK's excelent writeup on replacing those return lines.
I read the info on the water seperator link you mentioned, but...
I updated this thread with some pictures.
th first one shows my 6.9 fuel filter housing and heater line
the second is a closeup of the fuel filter housing that shows the nipple that's caped off
(what is this and where is it supposed to be hooked up?)
the third pic is the old water seperator...
Wy,
thanks for the reply!
olives huh :) ok that turned up a bunch of posts. I'll be getting some of those from Type4 hopefully.
