Description
For 2011-2015 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke owners, the factory upper fuel filter is a notorious design flaw. Located deep in the engine valley, the stock plastic housing is prone to becoming brittle and cracking over time due to intense engine heat, creating a serious leak risk. Worse, servicing it is a nightmare—often resulting in diesel fuel spilling all over your engine, creating a mess and a lingering smell.
The Solution: A Permanent Upgrade.
Our Upper Fuel Filter Relocation Kit completely solves these issues by deleting the engine bay filter and relocating the filtration system to the chassis (frame rail). By converting to a heavy-duty metal spin-on filter , you not only remove the risk of plastic failure but also make maintenance effortless.
No more climbing into the engine bay. No more fuel baths. Just a clean, accessible, and highly efficient filtration system designed for the long haul. whether you are daily driving, towing heavy loads, or tuning your truck for performance, this is the reliability upgrade your fuel system demands.
Fitment
• 2011 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel
• 2012 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel
• 2013 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel
• 2014 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel
• 2015 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 / F-550 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel
Key Features
• Mess-Free Maintenance
Moves the filter from the cramped engine valley to the accessible underside of the vehicle. Changing your fuel filter now takes minutes and keeps your engine bay 100% diesel-free.
• Superior Durability (Plastic to Metal)
Replaces the fragile OEM plastic housing with a robust metal mounting system and canister. This eliminates the common issue of housing cracks caused by heat cycling and vibration, significantly reducing fire hazards.
• Enhanced Filtration Efficiency
Utilizes a high-capacity spin-on filter (screw-on type). These filters typically offer a larger surface area for trapping contaminants compared to the stock cartridge, providing better protection for your high-pressure fuel pump and injectors.
• Retains Factory Return Functionality
Engineered to maintain the critical factory return fuel filtration loop, ensuring your fuel system operates exactly as the manufacturer intended, but with better hardware.
• System Compatibility
Designed to work seamlessly alone or paired with other upgrades. It is specifically compatible with our Lower Fuel Filter Upgrade Kit for a complete fuel system overhaul.

FAQs
Q: Why do I need to relocate the filter?
A: The stock location causes messy spills during changes, and the plastic housing often cracks. Relocating it to the frame rail makes changes clean, fast, and replaces plastic with metal durability.
Q: Is this a direct "plug and play" install?
A: This is an advanced installation. Please
Note:
Installation requires cutting the factory injector return line extension hose to fit the new plumbing. While straightforward for a mechanic, it is not a simple bolt-on without modification.
Q: Does this affect fuel flow or pressure?
A: No. The kit is designed to maintain or improve upon factory flow rates, ensuring your CP4 pump and injectors receive the fuel volume they need.
Q: Which replacement filters do I use?
A: The kit uses standard spin-on filters which are widely available at auto parts stores, often cheaper and easier to find than the proprietary OEM plastic cartridges.
Q: Can I use this if I have already upgraded my lower fuel filter?
A: Yes! This kit is designed to be compatible with factory lower filters or aftermarket upgrades (specifically compatible with FS23-00109BR-000-L).
