Replying to Topic 'Fuel Filter Change PCM 351'
I have an '86 Sunsport with the same engine (PCM Ford 351), I suspect. You will spill the gas that is in the filter, but that's it. As I recall, simply remove the bolt that holds the filter housing in place and carefully lift the filter canister out and dump it. I would suggest putting a towel or some sort of shallow but wide container underneath to catch as much petrol as possible. The fuel only flows through the line if the engine is running, so you will get no more spill than what is just sitting in that part of the hose. The filter just sits in the housing so it is as simple as lifting the old out and dropping the new one in. Piece of cake.
