As I tow a van I have the oil filter and oil changed every 7-8000k's. In preperation for a trip I took the car into my usual local mechanic for the change and this time decided to have the fuel filter changed as well. Genuine parts used and all changed over and then the car would not start. The mechanics could not reprime the fuel system. Experienced generally as they are and many hours later they said "can't do it". One day later the car is on a tow truck and being taken to the the Ford dealer and scheduled to be worked on tomorrow. What should have been a two hour job will be at best 3 days and many $'s later. It looks like thefuel filter should be left to the dealer and their service bulletins (I hope) I guess the other message here is "don't run out of diesel".
