Did it solve the problem?

After reading all the posts I was able to change my fuel filter in about 10 minutes.. I have changed many ford filters and this one was no more difficult. Thanks for the tips.....

Btw: My screw has the blue clip and I used the $7 tool .........

Fuel Filter removal I was Lucky

The front clip just before the filter was already loose and out of the base so I put the gas line removal tool inside the gas line and used a screw drive and through the hole were the clip was attached to the base (to the frame) I GENTLY pried the tool forward and pop it came off in seconds, with out your help I would have fiddled around for hours THANKS all. Letting the truck set tow hours helped with reducing the pressure for sure...

Love to see yours when you cut it open LOL!

Nicely done, SVT. Thanks.

Is there any correlation to truck config/bed length for the fuel line differences? Mine has only the blue clip.

I don't know if I am replying correctly or not as this is my first time doing more than just reading. If so I was curious could this cause power fluctuations or surges while driving, temporary Loss of reverse, Loss of acceleration, eventually cause my engine to stall when I stop at a stop sign...it cranked back up until I pressed the gas pedal and then stalled again and no longer cranked
