MotorcraftFuel Filter (FD4615)

Arrived in a Motorcraft package. They look 100% factory. Price was about right. All good stuff.

Worked well on my Ford F250 6.7L V8 Diesel truck with the parts fitting snuggly and no leaks noted after instillation. The fuel filter proved tricky to install as the fuel line clips were very hard to snap back into place. Once attached, the lines were equally difficult to detach. The filters seemed to have the same dimensions as the parts that I removed and replaced. This was the first time that I had personally changed the fuel filter on this truck so I have no past experience for comparison. It may always be hard to reattach the fuel lines. If this is your first time changing these filters, I would recommend watching an instructional video and also prepare for the inevitable spilling of large volume of Diesel fuel! The filters seem to be sturdy and durable from the outside. The O-ring gasket for the water seperator fit tightly and there was no fuel leakage when the truck was running after the job was done. After the fuel system was primed, the truck started up with the first attempt, idled smoothly and accelerated normally and without hesitation indicating good fuel pressure.

Oem and great price

For the price of this it’s a great value. Do yourself and your truck a favor and change your fuel filters regularly and at home to save money rather than going to the dealership and getting overcharged. I’ve owned my 2015 F250 for 4 years, I’ve always used this filter and I’ve never experienced a leak nor a filter cracking.

This is a great OEM replacement kit that includes everything you need to complete the fuel filter job. I couldn't believe how much money the dealer wanted to charge to change the fuel filter, I really feel like dealers or mechanics in general often times take advantage of people who don't realise how easy some of the routine maintenance is to do. Just buying the parts was about 1/3rd the cost of having the dealer do this for me. And when you realize you have to do this job every 15,000 miles, wow it's just better to learn how to do this on your own yourself.**One word of caution for install** For the white filter that goes just below the driver's door near the transfercase... You can use a huge socket to pull the part off, but you're working with plastic, I think it's like a 33mm or something huge! However I would highly recommend using a strap wrench so you don't bust the plastic part holding the inner filter.There are two Fuel filters for the 2011 and up F250, one is below the driver's door down on the undercarriage of the vehicle and the other is in the hood toward the fire wall on the driver's side. On the filter below, make sure you drain the diesel fuel out of the filter by using the yellow twist knob. Then remove the sensor cables connection to the filter housing, using your strap wrench remove the fuel filter housing, make sure you keep something to catch diesel as there is going to be more diesel to fall out. When you replace the filter, take a look at how the old one sits so you can make sure you install correctly, but the open end should face up. Don't forget to replace the gasket on the male connector up on the truck before screwing the new filter back in place.The front filter is quite a bit easier. Locate it under the hood, it will look like the black filter with the two hose connectors one in and the other out. *Note* your truck's filter might have three things coming off, the third one is a factor fill nipple, and the replacement won't have that, that is one way to know if your fuel filter has ever been changed from the factory if it has two or three outlets. Remove the hoses and then use a 7mm socket wrench to loosen the clamp around the filter, twist to the right until it stops then pull upwards, and install following the same steps in reverse order.

Quality as advertised
