If you’re tired of over-paying for upper fuel filter replacements on your 2011-2016 6.7L Ford Powerstroke, H&S Motorsports has a solution for you: the H&S Fuel Filter Conversion Kit. This kit converts the upper OEM-style plastic fuel filter to a high flow Baldwin BF7967 fuel filter that is much more cost-effective to replace. Show Not only does this kit allow you to use a less expensive, higher flowing fuel filter, but the H&S Motorsports fuel filter housing also doubles as a fuel distribution block for those trucks running multiple high-pressure injection pumps. You can throw those ugly old tee fittings in the trash when you install the Fuel Filter Conversion Kit. The H&S Motorsports fuel filter housing also contains an extra 1/8″ NPT port that can be used for an extra low pressure return, aftermarket fuel pressure sensor port, and more! If you’ve changed the fuel filter on your 2017+ 6.7L Ford, you’re probably aware that the factory plastic injector return fitting is extremely delicate and can be easily damaged or broken during the fuel filter change procedure (and costs around $150 to replace). To remedy this, we replace the factory plastic injector return fitting with a high-quality anodized aluminum fitting that will NEVER break. Performance, functionality, and great looks, the H&S Motorsports Fuel Filter Conversion Kit has it all. If wear/damage to fuel filter housing components is excessive, replacement is typically more cost effective Fuel filter housing seal kit 1994.5 - 1995 Ford F5TZ-9157-A REQ O-rings required to rebuild the fuel filter housing 1996 - 1997 Ford F5TZ-9157-BA Drain valve, complete assembly Ford F5TZ-9A153-A OPT Can be cleaned, rebuilt with new o-rings.

"REQ" = required, "OPT" = optional, "REC" = recommended Fuel Filter Housing Rebuild InstructionsClick any thumbnail to view high resolution fullsize image w/ addition details (where applicable) • Remove the fuel filter housing assembly and place it on a workbench. See: 7.3L Power Stroke fuel filter housing removal & installation procedures • Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors from the fuel filter housing heater and water-in-fuel sensor (see image for details). Note - the fuel heater electrical connector can be stubborn. You may need to gently prey side to side. A replacement harness is somewhat expensive, so do not get impatient and break it. • Remove the wiring harness from the fuel filter assembly by maneuvering the connectors one-at-a-time through the opening at the bottom of the housing. This harness is to be cleaned and reused if it is not damaged. • Remove the fuel filter cap/lid. • Remove the fuel filter stand pipe using a 7/8 inch crowfoot wrench and socket extension. Rotate it clockwise to loosen, it is left hand thread. A flare nut crowfoot wrench is preferred as it will eliminate the possibility of damaging the plastic hex nut molded into the base of the stand pipe. Remove by hand once it has been broken loose and be careful not to damage the fuel heater element. • Carefully tilt the fuel heater and disconnect the terminal from the connector that passes through the body of the fuel filter housing using a pair of long needle-nose pliers. • Remove the water in fuel sensor using a 9/16" socket. • Remove the fuel heater thermostat/connector by first rotating it clockwise until the black plastic tab clears the corresponding aluminum tab on the fuel filter housing, then pulling upwards. It may be stubborn and require gentle prying from side to side as the o-ring has to collapse to pass through the hole in the fuel filter housing. • Remove the water drain valve using a Phillips screwdriver. • Remove the fuel restriction sensor. It is threaded into the fuel pressure regulator body on 1996 - 1997 model year engines (top of fuel filter housing) and fuel filter housing pressure line (bottom of fuel filter housing) on 1994 - 1995 model year engines. A 1-1/16 inch socket is necessary to remove it. • Remove the fuel regulator body from the fuel filter housing using a 10 mm socket (2 bolts, see image). • There is a small screen located between the fuel filter housing and fuel regulator assembly. Refer to the image - this one is completely clogged. Behind the screen is the bleed orifice (white plastic component) followed by a small plastic check ball. Remove the screen, orifice, and check ball. Note that the screen may or may not be attached to the bleed orifice, they tend to detach but can still be reused. Do not lose the check ball. • Remove the fuel pressure relief valve using a 19 mm socket. Behind the brass nut is a spring and plunger; set them aside. • Remove the snap ring from the fuel pressure regulator, then remove the brass cap. • Remove the plastic cap from the fuel restriction sensor port and set aside (see image for details). A small pick can be used to gently pry it upwards. • Remove the metal filter screen from the fuel pressure regulator. • Completely clean all metal interior and exterior components of the fuel filter housing and fuel pressure regulator assembly with a mild solvent or parts cleaner. Clean plastic components with a plastic safe electrical connector cleaner, not a harsh solvent. Ensure that every orifice is cleaned and debris free before reassembly. IN ALL REASSEMBLY STEPS, LIBERALLY COAT EACH O-RING IN CLEAN MOTOR OIL BEFORE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. • Install the fuel screen into the fuel pressure regulator. Install the new o-ring on the fuel filter regulator cap. • Carefully install the fuel filter regulator cap and snap ring. It is extremely easy to cut the o-ring during installation. To avoid this, keep the cap straight during installation so that it seats evenly. • Replace the small o-ring in the top of the fuel pressure regulator. A pick is necessary to install the new o-ring, but be carefully not to cut it. • Reinstall the fuel pressure relief valve with a new o-ring; do not overtighten. • Install the check valve, then bleed orifice/screen. If this item has been replaced, the screen will be attached to the bleed orifice. If the original is being reused, install the bleed orifice into the fuel pressure regulator body and the screen into the fuel filter housing. The bleed orifice has (2) o-rings that must be replaced. • Install a new o-ring in the opening between of the fuel filter housing where the bleed orifice/screen installs. • Reinstall the fuel pressure regulator. Lightly coat the tip of the metal fuel line that inserts into the fuel pressure regulator with clean motor oil to help the o-ring seal. Do not overtighten fuel filter regulator to fuel filter housing bolts; torque to 100 - 120 in-lbs. • Reinstall the fuel restriction sensor, torque to 35 - 45 in-lbs. • Disassemble the fuel drain valve by first removing the two large o-rings that seal the valve to the fuel filter housing. Next, rotate the drain valve until the flat spot on the ball valves is visible through the two holes on the back of the valve. When these are lined up properly, the valve core can be removed from the drain valve body. • At the top of the valve core is a white pin. To remove it, thread a small machine screw into the top and carefully extract. Beneath the pin is a check ball - do not loose it. • Replace all o-rings, clean the drain valve components, and reassemble in reverse order. • To reinstall the drain valve to the fuel filter housing, first verify that the two large o-rings that seal the valve to the filter housing are properly installed and coated in clean motor oil. • Rotate the valve until the valve is in the open/drain position (you will see both holes in the ball valves from the back). Insert the drain valve lever so that it matches the open position on the fuel filter housing. Install the valve on the housing and tighten down the two Phillips headed bolts. Torque drain valve bolts to 20 - 25 in-lbs. • Reinstall the fuel heater thermostat/connector assembly, then the water-in-fuel sensor with new o-rings. Torque water-in-fuel sensor to 18 - 24 in-lbs. • Reinstall the fuel filter heater. Tilting it to one side allows access to the connector. The tab on the heater must rest against the corresponding tab cast into the fuel filter housing (see image) so that the heater assembly will not spin and become damaged when the stand pipe is installed. • Reinstall the stand pipe by hand. Dip the threads in clean motor oil first. Recall that this is reverse (left-hand) thread. Snug it using a flare nut crows foot (as used in removal), but do not overtighten. • Reinstall the wiring harness and plug in the fuel filter heater thermostat/connector and water-in-fuel sensor. Ensure that all electrical connectors/terminals have been cleaned. Reinstall the fuel filter housing. See: 7.3L Power Stroke fuel filter housing removal and installation procedures How often should you drain fuel water separator 6.7 Powerstroke?You should drain water from the module assembly whenever the warning light illuminates or a message appears in the information display advising you to drain the water separator. This occurs when approximately 6.76 fl oz (200 ml) of water accumulates in the module.
What size socket do I need to change fuel filter on 6.7 Powerstroke?36mm Low Profile Filter Socket. Removes and Installs Filters on 6 Liter Ford Diesel Pickups.
What does a fuel filter assembly do?The fuel filter keeps fuel running smoothly to the engine.
It's a critical part of the system because today's fuel injectors have close-fitting parts that are easily clogged by dirt and grit. Instead of creating a fine spray of fuel that burns completely, they start to produce a stream that doesn't completely ignite.
What causes a fuel filter to split?Splitting the injector tips are primarily caused by improper fuel system bleeding after servicing the fuel system, including a filter change or other issues where the injectors stop getting fuel.
