It was suggested I replace the bit of fuel line after the filter. The bolt at the back could be undone but not at the front.Should I go to another mechanic for this?!?!?!

XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 2d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 26/07/13 06:23 AM Share Posted 26/07/13 06:23 AM Mate if XFT could not get it off without damaging the fuel lines, I think it is pretty safe to say that other places will not be able to get them off either without braking something int he process.Your best bet would be to get some new fuel lines from Ford (take heaps of lube) or see if you can get some from a wrecker.I would also suggest that you replace the in-tank filter or event better replace the pump and filter at the same time as doing the external filter, especially if your BA has done done a few kms.

I was suggested by someone to go to ford and get them to do a fuel filter for ($150 they quoted) cause if they break the line they should be replacing it for me...but they might say the same thing. It's just my 1 litre pump pack of lube has run dry from all the visits to crappy mechanics and ford parts department :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I've been able to DIY it no problems, have changed mine 4 or 5 times now. Just seem to be FT from factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
