Motorcraft - Fuel Filter (FD4615)

Arrived in a Motorcraft package. They look 100% factory. Price was about right. All good stuff.

Worked well on my Ford F250 6.7L V8 Diesel truck with the parts fitting snuggly and no leaks noted after instillation. The fuel filter proved tricky to install as the fuel line clips were very hard to snap back into place. Once attached, the lines were equally difficult to detach. The filters seemed to have the same dimensions as the parts that I removed and replaced. This was the first time that I had personally changed the fuel filter on this truck so I have no past experience for comparison. It may always be hard to reattach the fuel lines. If this is your first time changing these filters, I would recommend watching an instructional video and also prepare for the inevitable spilling of large volume of Diesel fuel! The filters seem to be sturdy and durable from the outside. The O-ring gasket for the water seperator fit tightly and there was no fuel leakage when the truck was running after the job was done. After the fuel system was primed, the truck started up with the first attempt, idled smoothly and accelerated normally and without hesitation indicating good fuel pressure.

Used to replace fuel filters on a 2016 Ford F-350 diesel truck. Used this kit several times. Only received one kit without a gasket which was corrected immediately.

Factory original part fit and installed perfectly. My third purchase and will buy again.

Easy to install

Good quality definitely buying again.

I never leave reviews. No way this is a ford motor craft set of filters. For one the box it came in was a generic brown box and the under hood filter wasn’t anywhere near the quality or thickness of the one taken out. It also didn’t line up with the fuel lines when locked in place in bracket. I only realized this once the under frame filter was already installed and had fuel on it, otherwise this would have been returned. Upon realizing this I took a closer look at a label that looked to be covered up. what I could make of the label looks to come back to “fram” I can’t say with certainty that’s what this is but I can say with certainty that this isn’t OEM ford motor craft. There’s a reason it’s cheaper. Buy at own risk.
