Fuel Filter

[MyAngry85]

Hey guys, stupid question, I just ordered a new fuel filter assembly to replace my current on my 1009. The new one doesn't have the round deal with the foam piece and the two wires that the old one has. What is it, do I need it, and where can I get one?? Thanks alot.

That is the fuel pressure sensor that is used with the diagonostic equipment STE/ICE. Since most of the general public doesn't have access to this equipment, we will never need the sensor.

Just intsall the new base and tape up the wires. You will never know the difference except the new base will not leak like the original.

Thanks. I could have just looked it up in the wireing diagrams in th TMs but only you guys could answer if I needed it. Now if I still wanted that sensor, would I be able to put it on there or is the base not built for it?

The sensor is a known problem for leaking.

"IF" you could find a new sensor. I guess you could try to install it.

As far as I know the military didn't have a repair plan, they just install a new base and chunked the old one.

Oh well ok then, very cool. Well that's one of the many things I don't need to worry about any more on this truck haha.

I would ask those more familiar to correct me if I'm wrong--However since you are replacing the fuel filter assembly why not return the origional style and replace it with a spin on type. A quick search will come up with several threads on how to do it.

Must be a run of Fuel Filter leaks this week. Someone just posted this a few minutes ago.

I just like the design of the stock set up better. Minus the system to bleed it. Plus i got a fair deal on it, being brand new and all.
