What You'll Learn
Locating the fuel filter
To locate the fuel filter on a 200 E-150, look underneath the van on the driver's side frame rail. The filter is located along the frame rail, depending on whether your fuel tank is in the middle or the rear, which will determine how far up or back the filter is. Trace out the fuel lines to the driver's door.
The arrow on the filter needs to be pointing towards the front of the van, as it designates the direction of the fuel flow.
There is a safety clip on the lines in front of and behind the filter. Pry these off with a screwdriver.
