Motorcraft FD4617 Fuel Filter for 2008-2010 Ford Super Duty 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel - Replace

Priced fair

Item was accurately described

I purchased this once before and it leaked and I had to have a mechanic replace it with an OEM part. I took a 2nd chance and bought this again on Amazon. I thought maybe I just got a bad part. The part of the filter on the engine mounted filter that connects to the outbound fuel line is not perfectly formed and ended up breaking the O-ring on the quick connector. I had to replace that tube for about $50. The filter itself also leaks out the bottom and slowly fills up the housing holding the filter and then you get a constant drip under your rig. I removed the old filter, whipped it down well, filled it with fuel and let it sit upright. Slowly the bottom starts to build up under the filter housing. It either leaches out the plastic or seeps out the locking ring at the bottom of the housing. Once pressurized, the leak is pretty constant with a drip every 5 to 10 seconds. Very disappointed with this product...I should have learned the first time and not tried this part a 2nd time later on. Now I have a big fuel puddle and have to go out and find an OEM part. The rail mounted filter appears to work fine, but they generally come as a kit.

Nice filters that have done the job on my 2006 F350 truck. I buy these for 2 reasons one is they work and the other is the fair price on them.

Arrived on time and in good condition.

There is no where to purchase these filters separately. I no longer use the plastic top filter due to having one explode when traveling in West Texas. So, I installed a filter conversion to allow for a spin on filter for my safety. I only need the water separator filter and for some reason these are only sold in a kit of both. At least the price is a bit lower

Product works great

I bought the FD-4615 Fuel Filter for my 2014 Ford Super Duty Powerstroke. When it arrived I did not bother to check that it was in good shape as the reviews here were good. I got this installed, primed my fuel system as normal, went to fire up the truck and it immediately dies. I heard the sound of fuel hitting the ground. When I looked under the truck diesel was gushing out. I figured maybe I pinched the o-ring. Got it all taken apart and looking at the filter I could see where the top side of the filter was badly misshapen. This caused the filter to not fully seat in the filter housing, which when I tightened the housing down, ultimately cracked my housing. This is why I was leaking diesel so bad. I did not realize this until I went to install the new Genuine Motorcarft filter and could see the crack. Amazon now completely wants nothing to do with my issue. They are refusing any support, telling me I need to talk to the manufacturer of the housing to figure it all out. The housing is a factory Ford part, it is not a part that should ever need replacing. In the picture you can see how badly the top of the filter is misshapen. Absolute crap quality. You can also see the filter media coming out of the inside of the top.Do NOT buy this crap for your vehicle.
