Ford: 2004 f-150 fuel filter, filter costs, tool costs


Question
My f-150 just started acting as if it were running out of gas if you hit passing gear.  I was told it was probably the fuel filter.  Where is the fuel filter and how easy is it to replace and about how muchshould it cost. Not a mechanic.

Answer
Robert, the fuel filter is going to be on the inside of the frame, just behind the driver's side door.  It will be a lot easier to change if you pick up a fuel line quick disconnect tool at the parts store.  The filter costs about 10 dollars and the tool costs about 6 dollars.  If that doesn't solve your problem, I would look to changing your ignition coil.  Good luck,   Jason
