Fuel Filter Replacement

[KHabie]

Can someone tell me where the fuel filter is located on a 31P 2018?
Is it difficult to replace?

It it's typical Ford it's on the driver side frame rail and it takes a special tool to remove.

I looked, can’t see it. Where on the rail? Front, rear?

I just did a web search and apparently it's different than the E-450. According to the web your owner's manual supposedly says it's a lifetime filter in the tank for the F-53 chassis..

I believe you are correct. I went back and crawled under the coach and could not find a fuel filter. I then went on line and there are mixed opinions but I believe the only fuel filter is in the tank…..God help me if and when it needs to be replaced.

From what I've read it was moved with the 2011 chassis, it used to be on the frame rail. Supposedly 15 yrs or 150,000 miles is it's lifespan.

Fuel filters on many modern vehicles are part of the fuel pump assembly in the tank. Fuel pumps run at a higher rpm to supply more constant steady pressure for the fuel injector systems which are more sensitive to moisture and dirt particles. So fuel goes through the filter first then through the pump.
