How to replace the fuel filter in a Lincoln Town car (or Ford Crown Vic or Mercury Grand Marquis).
You don't even need to jack the car up- leave all 4 wheels on the ground.
Fuel pressure in the line is low so you don't need to 'relieve' pressure.
2018 is my 12th year on UA-cam with this very channel.
Thank you all. Jevin
Thanks for the video. I just changed my filter and this helped. I was able to changed it without jacking the car up.
Glad I could help you friend. thanks for watching
No, the first thing is to kill the pressure in the engine, the fuel rail have a valve like the tires, so you push down the stem and then remove the fuel filter. Sorry my friend but that step is very important.
Thanks so much for the details. Once I watched this, it was a 15 minute job.
How? I couldn't see a damned thing.
@@cliffmcsparran3390 if you get down there and actually look at it, you can follow the instructions and do it without even seeing anything.
@@drewskeez1156yeah it was quite easy
Thank you ! This was very helpful
Ya, thanks for the help
Lay phone where it's easier to see what you're doing please. Thanks for your video
Found it on my 05 Ultimate LS with handling package. All changed out.
Glad to hear that Adam. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for this 💯
Jevin, my Town Car has over 100K so I believe a new fuel filter is overdue, but I do have some questions: Why isn't there any gasoline pouring out? I have always feared that if I attempted to change it, that gasoline would start shooting out? The other question I have is, should one disconnect any electrical item like the battery when doing this? Thanks for the video and I hope it is as easy as you make it seem. :)
Yes disconnecting the battery would be a good idea just for safety (I should have mentioned that here)
Some gas should come out of the lines when you disconnect them- but it's not alot of gas, it not under high pressure.
At about 2:08 in the video you can see wet pavement where some gas dripped out after I disconnected the line (I needed both hands to do that so I put the camera down)
But you dont have to worry about gas 'shooting out' after disconnecting the lines with the engine off.
Im not sure why no gas at all would come out of the lines after disconnecting them if that happens- but wouldn't worry about it as long as the car ran ok before and after.
@@JevinDeml I had the same worry thinking I needed to be near empty to avoid gas flow from the tank. lol Great video
Electric fuel pump controls the flow from the tank. Pump off, no pressure, no flow from gas tank .
Make sure you fuel the fuel pump relay while it’s running to relieve the system of pressure. Otherwise, you’ll be in for a treat if the car has been running recently.
I need to do this for my mother in laws town car
how do you relieve fuel pressure in the lines before takeing the filter off
Pull the fuel relay or press the button on the fuel pump cut off if it has one
Good looking .....I was wondering were it was at
hi you got gas on your phone for us thanks!
Who is filming, Stevie Wonder?
George Lucas is his name.
When it ran just a lil did the engine light or any warning lights come on? Try disconnecting the fuel hose from the engine and starting it. If fuel squirts out the fuel system should be ok. If not- sounds like a bad fuel pump.
i didn't need no disconnect tool on my 2004 town car, I just unhook the clips and slide off easily.
selerim Your hands are alot stronger then mine!
well I did use a 8mm to unscrew the clips that hold the filter but yes this video helps where the filter located, thank you
Is the filter under that peice with the aplastic covering with plastic screws ??
The $6.99 tool is for removing the metal spring loaded teeth on the fuel filter which hold it in place on the fuel line..
so I don't need that tool
The teeth aren't on the fuel filter, Cletus.
I have a 99 lincoln continental a few months ago i just had my pump control module replaced just recently my car wouldnt turn over all the way at first i poured a lil gas into the carburator and i was able to move it just a lil then it died again i tried starting it over and over til i killed the battery do u have any suggestions wth is goin on and i havent driven the car in 2 years due to personal issues
Clean your mass air flow sensor. Mine had a penny on the cigarette crap that caused my car not to start. Well i basically replaced the fuel pump for nothing but I atleast got it on sale for $28 so i saved like a $100 on parts alone.
Is gas gonna keep coming out or does it stop
I love the Toyota ad before this video. haha
No warning lights came on just like when the pump module went no warning lights came on it just went i believe my friend tried that we came to the conclusion it could be the pump or filter, but today he tried it again he said he didnt he some buzzing sound when u turn the key he say he believe it could be the pump
i have a 1997 crown vic and the fuel filter is on the drivers side rear door not the passenger side
Ok thanks for pointing that out. They must have moved them to the passenger side in the early 2000's.
Uses an 8Mm to take it off? I have zero millimeter tools
What year Town Car?
I didn't relieve the pressure its not necessary. The fuel pressure is low and there's not much fuel in the lines, maybe 3 or 4 cups worth. I just let it run out on the ground and sprinkled some kitty litter to soak it up.
Does it matter if my tank is full?
No
well that $6.99 tool costs $8.57 at AZ now...
My clips are way different, I have a 2001 Police Interceptor
Can't see anything in the frame
So instead of pulling the fuse can’t I just hit the fuel pump shit off switch in the trunk
Why pull the fuse?
@@scottmisus4678 it worked out great gained a few horsepower but still need to clean/replace my iac valve
Lol@shit off switch
I have a 1998 f150 .v8 4.6 I need an A gas neck fuel filler pipe. I live in Upland CA. do anybody have one out there. that I could buy , and in good condition. text me a message.please stay local .
That fucking tank side fitting won't come off for me... I've broken the little green clip off completely trying to get the damn thing off and I've tried pushing, pulling, and twisting as hard as I can and still nothing.
Ford engineers are fucking assholes.
Is there any part of the green clip left on the hose? If so can you push whats left of it with a small flat head screw driver while wiggling the line with the other hand?
Can’t see a damn thing
What year is This for 03-11??
This is for '98 to 2011 Towncar, Crown Vic and Grand Marquis
@@JevinDeml not really,,my 03 TC had plastic clips on both ends !
@@fredhore plastics clips on both ends.
This cover's 98 to 2011 I'm pretty sure.
Thanks
@@JevinDeml my o4 didn’t have clips it probably would have but the previous mechanic lost em or sum shit he was a crackhead 🤣
you don't have to buy that tool. You can start the engine and pull the fuel pump relay. Save $6.99
This video sucks you can’t even see what you’re doing at all. Very disappointing, this video should be erased.
