Learn how to replace a Ford quick disconnect style fuel filter using a home-made quick disconnect tool made from a pen cap or using a store bought quick disconnect tool. This method will work on any Ford vehicles with a quick disconnect fuel filter. The vehicle I used is my 2001 Mazda Pickup (Ford Ranger).

I watched several videos changing a fuel filter on a Mazda Ford whatever and this was by far the best. it was very clear and it was helpful. thank you.
thanks ChrisFix, whew! that was helpful! my truck just STOPPED running, luckily I was close enough to COAST home. figured it was the fuel filter. after some difficulty and checking your video got a new filter in and it's running fine now. only cost me nineteen bucks for the filter. happy.
As usual, Great information and straight to the point.
That helps! Thanks Chris…
Can confirm, home made pen cap rigged quick disconnect worked like a charm. Thanks +ChrisFix!
You mean every 5yrs for non-daily-driven ones because those cars have low kms of usage written on their odometer and the filter is not as much damaged as a daily-driven one
you don't need the tool.. use a flathead screwdrive and push IN on the tabs!!!
What about if the fuel filter is rusted to the line and is blocking all gas from getting the engine?
Most Excellent!
Great video. I changed the fuel filter on my 99 Ranger yesterday. The only problem I had was that the auto parts store gave me the wrong filter. When I thought I had it installed correctly and tried to start the truck, I had gas pouring out all over my driveway. Several attempts later I notice that the filter line was slightly smaller that the old one that I had removed. Once I got the correct filter it literally took less than a minute to install. thanks for the video. Keep making these videos.
Man u r good.
i simply can get the inlet line disconnect any pointers
does a 2004 Mazda 3 have a fuel filter that's accessible?
Hey Chris, I love all your videos! I rewatched this one today and changed out the filter on my truck, it had 150,000+ on the same filter, and it was really dirty. It was a bit of a process doing it for the first time, but it's done! For anybody doing theirs, and they have a quick connect fitting, just keep trying if it doesn't work! Also a little penetrating oil…
