Guys,
I hate to come on here with a negative story but wanted to share my experience with my first 22,500 mile dealer fuel filter change on my 2013 F-250 4x4 6.7 diesel. I purchased the truck new. After several oil leaks that the dealer could not chase down, the faulty turbo was replaced at only 12,000 miles. That being said, I have been very cautious with the truck and let the dealer do all of the scheduled maitenance. I took the truck in 2 weeks ago for the first fuel filter change and after the service was completed I started to make the 6 mile drive home. I smelled diesel on the drive but thought it may just be residual diesel from the filter change causing the smell. About 1/4 mile from my house the low fuel pressure warning indicator came on the dash and shortly thereafter diesel fuel began spraying out from under the hood onto my windshield and the smell of raw fuel became intense. I pulled in my driveway and saw that the entire underside of the truck was covered in fuel and there was fuel leaking eveywhere. The diesel tech came to my house and found that he did not properly connect the fuel line on the engine mounted fuel filter. The dealership has now had my truck for 2 weeks with the cab off replacing all of the firewall insulation, washing the engine, and running an ozone generator trying to get the overwhelming diesel smell that comes through the a/c out of the king ranch interior. I doubt the truck will ever be right again. I don't meant to rant but I just want to express the importance of double or triple checking the fuel lines if you are changing the fuel filter yourself. Take care and tight lines!
