Fuel filter removal for dodge ram 1500 2003 model

Open the hood of the Dodge Ram and locate the fuel canister located against the firewall of the vehicle. There is a yellow handle next to the canister that has a hose attached to it. Place the bucket underneath the hose and open the handle. Allow all the fuel in the canister to drain into the bucket. Remove the lid of the canister. Remove the fuel filter and place it to the side.
Install the new fuel filter o-rings onto the new filter. Use a small bit of automotive grease to help hold the o-rings in place. Slide the fuel filter into the canister.
Reinstall the lid to the fuel canister and tighten it down. Prime the fuel system before starting the motor. Turn the key to "acc" and allow the fuel pump to send fuel to the filter. Allow it to prime for 10 seconds and then try to start the Dodge Ram. Repeat step 6 if necessary. good-day !

you may have dislodged some dirt from the fuel filter so if you change the fuel filter and add another can of injector cleaner it may remove the rest of the dirt in the system and at the injector nozzle.

I don't believe there is one. The filter is on the top of the fuel tank and is part of the pump assembly. the tank will have to be dropped down to remove. 1999 dodge ram owner

Here you go if it is a diesel:
A. FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT:
The fuel filter is located inside of the fuel filter housing
1. Unscrew and remove fuel filter cap at top of fuel filter housing. To unscrew, attach tool to 6-sided hex center of cap. Do not loosen cap at outer edge. The fuel filter cap is designed to remove filter while pulling up on cap.
2. Remove O-ring from cap and discard.
3. The filter is retained to cap with little fingers. Carefully pry a couple of them off from old filter.
B. FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT:
1. Thoroughly clean inside of filter housing, cap, etc. with clean diesel fuel
2. Fill filter housing (canister) with clean diesel fuel. NOTE: If you do not do this, you will have to manually bleed air out of system later. No fun.
3. Snap new fuel filter to bottom of cap.
4. Install new O-ring
5. Apply lihgt film of clean diesel oil to cap O-ring
6. Load filter/cap into housing.
7. Tighten cap to 25 ft. lbs. torque. Do NOT over-tighten.

the fuel pressure regulator/fuel filter is located on top of the fuel tank. the fuel filter should only be changed if you suspect fuel contamination. if you need to change fuel filter/regulator you will need to disconnect the negative battery clamp from battery. then relieve the fuel pressure at the fuel rail at the test port. unscrew the cap and connect a fuel pressure gauge to port or take a few rags in one hand and a small screwdriver and press down on valve stem. if you do not have a test port then remove fuel relay marked in fuse/relay box and start engine until it runs out of fuel. lower the fuel tank and remove fuel hose to fuel pressure regulator/fuel filter.twist back and forth to remove from rubber grommet on tank. ( do not lift out more than 3 inches or you will damage the coiled tube inside the tank. remove snap ring from convoluted tube cover,slide cover down to expose the clamp to fuel pick-up tube. remove tube clamp with cutting pliers and remove regulator/filter. ( do not let the tube fall back into tank). installation is the reverse of removal.

This is the year that dodge decided to put the fuel filter in the gas tank instead of inline on the railing. Just either empty the gas tank or make sure that there is hardly and left in it considering it will be heavy. Pull the necessary lines off top of tank and hoses and than take the nuts that hold your straps on the tank off. Remove tank and pull fuel filter.
