Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 A ford employee replied that the fuel filter is inside the fuel tank and doesn't change like other parts (like cabin filter or oil filter). It is not autoclean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 There isn't a fuel filter on newer petrol fords. Only filter as such is the in tank strainer as part of fuel sender unit/ pump assembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Indeed. But what will happen if it is filled with poor quality gasoline (benzina)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 If there's debris it will be caught by the strainer until it blocks up , then the car will stop.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Don't know for sure, but as far as we know, the fuel at (most) gas stations here is not of good quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 So does the fuel filtered (somehow)?Only by the filter in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I've had a dig around and it looks like the fuel filter fitment could be market specific.so depending on the country it may or may not have one. If it does it's very close to the fuel tank. You need to have a look underneath and see what you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 But it is not replaceable? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 But, it is not just the filter, which is replaceable, it is the whole unit inside the tank, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 In some markets where there is a fuel filter, it is external to the fuel tank. I will see if I can find an image so you can see what to look for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Also, which is the easiest way to find it? The ford employee wrote that it is inside the fuel tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Right. Let's start again. Most countries/markets only have a filter of sorts that's part of the fuel tank senderunit/pump which is INSIDE the tank. Not replaceable . The filter part of this tank unit is a course filter unlike an external one. Now some markets/countries that have issues with dirty fuel may have an EXTERNAL filter that is replaceable. I don't know what countries they could be , could be your , could be not. Only way to find out is to look for an EXTERNAL filter Here is an image I googled and gives some idea where an external filter may be. So it may be at the rear of the tank on the right side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bol Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Interesting. Thank you. I suppose that here the market has only the filter inside the tank. Perhaps I will search it. Hope that non replaceable fuel filter will endure and be efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
