dodge has been putting the fuel filter in the fuel pump assembly since the mid 90s and some of the trucks i have seen go to 200,000 miles without any problems.

 

holy **** !! that thing is on there madd tight !!
I can't get it off !! It's all rusted and the liquid wrench didn't do **** !!

 

why dont u use that torch u remommended me

 

You can't blow through a used fuel filter, but can through a new one, because it's saturated with fuel, while the new one isn't.

 

As long as the pump isn't whining anymore I'm happy.

 

I did my fuel filter last month and banged it on the floor a few times just to see what it catches. I'm surprised fuel is that dirty! There was a lot of black soot and dirt in there. Try it out. Oh, and to clean up the mess you just light it on fire and watch it disapear. Be sure to have the waterhose ready and do it on concrete not grass.

 

Sounds like my kind of clean up!

 

not to show my pyro side, but if you are gonna light puddles of fuel on fire, CO2 is more desirable for putting it out. A water hose will just spread the fire. Not that I wouldn't mind watching a video of soemone trying. LOL I am always up for good internet vid.

the blow check on a saturated filter is just a check. obviously having fuel in is harder than an empty filter. I used an air hose. it'll blow fine through a clean, but saturated filter.

bad, you know that's how I gauge when to wash my truck...when the filters need changing. I still haven't washed it from when I met The Breeze at the track.

 

im gonna get it off with some bolt cutters !!

 

Try and have it cleaned up a little by the time we all get together in September....I don't want my truck thinking it can go around looking like that!
I hate seeing your truck like that almost as much as I hate seeing those starving children that Sally Strothers is always trying to get ya' to adopt. There are somethings in this world that just shouldn't be.
