What You'll Learn
Raising the engine cover
To raise the engine cover of a Ford Transit Connect, hold the cover on two sides simultaneously. Do not apply excessive force when removing the part, otherwise you may damage it.
The engine cover is the first thing you will need to raise when replacing the fuel hose of a Ford Transit Connect. Once the engine cover is raised, you will need to unscrew the fuel filter bracket fixing bolts. Use a drive socket #8 and a ratchet wrench to do this. Next, clean the fasteners of the fuel supply lines using an all-purpose cleaning spray. After this, detach the fuel pressure sensor connector. Finally, squeeze the clips and detach the fuel supply lines from the fuel filter housing. Use a flat screwdriver to do this. Be careful, as fuel may leak from the filter housing and hoses.
Once the old fuel hose has been removed, you can install a new one. To do this, screw in the fuel filter mounting bracket. Use a drive socket #8 and a ratchet wrench. Attach the fuel pressure sensor connector. Then, connect the fuel lines to the fuel filter and lock the fastening clips. Connect the bleeder kit to the fuel filter bleeder screw. Fill the new filter with fuel, then remove the bleeder kit. Finally, connect the fuel lines to the fuel filter and lock the fastening clips. Attach the fuel pressure sensor connector.
