WHY ISN't THERE A FUEL FILTER ON A 2010 FORD E-350 5.4 ENGINE?

WHY ISN't THERE A FUEL FILTER ON A 2010 FORD E-350 5.4 ENGINE? - 1

Added (1). all gas tanks have a fuel filter sock in the tank, i know that… But they also all had a actulal fuel filter on the fuel rail, except now, would like to know why? The filter sock in the tank is irrelevant to this question!

More than likely the bean counters started making noise about saving money and that's one of several things engineers decided to get rid of

That would be incorrect. My Accord has a sock and only a sock. As for why you don't have an external filter, you'd have to ask the designers.

There's one. You aren't looking hard enough.

My Civic has no external filter either.

I have one on mine. On the frame right under the drivers seat.

Cause you need to know where to look under van in frame rail

  • Why isn't my fuel pump turning on? I have a 1997 ford ranger and the fuel pump doesn't turn on when you turn the key. I replaced the pump and it does the same thing. No purging sound like usual. What else could it be if not the actual fuel pump. I need all possibilities please.
  • Which year F-350 is best and why? Which is the worst F-350 and why? I'm gonna buy a F-350 In a year or so and I wanna know which one is best. I'm gonna buy a fifth wheel and I need a powerful truck. I have decided on the Ford F 3-50 but I don't know which one is the most reliable. I'm thinking of getting a super duty truck.
  • Any Ford guys out there? 88 E-350 7.5 ford? Looking at my motor there's a 3/4 black hose on pass side coming from the back of the motor looks like its connected to a fan or something i start the motor and the hose is pushing air it says heater hose on it but i did not take it apart and can't find the port to hook it to it just pushes on no clamp or nothing.
