Spin-on gasoline fuel filter

[Dirtman]

This is about a fuel filter... I mean... uhhh...

I stand behind buying motorcraft stuff when it comes to fuel pumps and electronics. But it's a fuel filter. You can go buy a puralotor for 4 dollars? Heck you can still get the motorcraft filter. They aren't rare or obsolete by any stretch of the imagination. This isn't something you've gotta search abandoned warehouses for like some post apocalyptic scavenger. It's a fuel filter... you go to the store and buy one. They probably have them in stock at dunkin' donuts.

What I'm looking at is going all-new parts from fuel pump to fuel pressure regulator. Besides the filter, new pressure and return fuel lines. It's these later items that seem problematic.

I do agree that the original Ford parts will far outlast anything aftermarket; at least, that's been my experience. I hate having to replace any original part, and my first choice for (most) replacements is Motorcraft.

I think he means it's 1" thread for the filter not the actual fuel line fittings...

Umm, I knew what he was meaning. I don't think YOU understood though.... A 1" threaded filter isn't gonna just magically fit on a standard ranger fuel line that's 1/4" or 3/8". Your gonna have to get creative and get some fittings and adapters to make something with a 1" thread size to fit. What do you think I was talking about?

I still don't understand why the OP doesn't just fix the existing line.... It's a fuel filter not an oil filter that needs changed often so you wouldn't benefit much by making a special threaded filter unless you plan on changing it as often as an oil filter.

An option could be to find out who makes the parts for Ford. A lot of Ford parts are made by someone else. So if you can find out who that is, you might have a parts source after Ford stops offering them as a Motorcraft brand.

This. Autolite plugs are motorcraft, bosch o2 sensors are motorcraft, etc...

But from what I'm understanding he wants to buy replacement fuel lines direct from ford. No one is gonna make a direct fit aftermarket for stuff like that. BUT, theres really no reason to when with things like that making your own is usually cheaper and better than O.E anyway.

I have a fuel line kit from dorman of all brands that is actually quite good and have made better line/fittings than stock. And I think buying anything from dorman is grounds to be institutionalized.

 

[sgtsandman]

Yeah, I generally avoid Dorman myself.

Yea, but it was 12 bucks and came with a bazillion fittings and 50 feet of plastic line. So I couldn't pass it up... and it turned out to be good stuff for once in my long history of buying dorman crap. The other exception is the dorman blend door motor in my truck. I was desperate and it's all advanced had, it's been working for 6 years! Yes, a dorman part lasted 6 years!

Dorman seems to be really good... or really bad. Not much in the middle.

Contacted WIX. They tell me the NAPA 4770 or WIX 24770 spin-on base is fine for fuel injected gasoline applications. They also sent me a list of filters suitable for either gasoline or diesel.

Never knew that was a thing. Just curious why though?

Never saw one. Many years ago in a previous job I occasionally drove an F-650 box truck with an automatic that had a spin-on tranny filter though. I thought it was a good idea.

Pretty much everything on a tractor is spin on except for air filters. Fuel, water, engine oil, trans/hydraulics... all spin on.

Some fuel filters are clip on which isn't too bad either.

The Allison 1000/2000 has a spin on filter (Napa P/n 7701).

Could you do this with an oil filter relocation kit and standard oil filters? I know where to get cheap oil filter relo kits...

 

[mikkelstuff]

Anyone know what size hard steel lines I have leading to the fuel filter on my 2002 Ranger? I will need to splice into those lines to install this spin-on fuel filter mount.
