[QUOTE="Reptar, post: 77908, member: 1883"] unfortunately as mentioned, there are no external fuel filters, just the in-tank filters. I'm surprised no vendor has come up with an in-line filter setup. Probably a mod I'll add onto mine. I really don't see how filter technology has gotten THAT good for the pump pre-filters that it negates the need for one after the pump. I'd think it'd limit the life of the injectors before they're clogged up. Anybody know if there's a service life on the in-tank filters when they should be changed? 100k miles? 150k? Seems odd Ford went from 30k service interval on an in-line fuel filter to no filter required at all. easy enough to bypass and pop open as mentioned, and just stick the gas spout in the filler neck or a funnel and it's open for fillup. Or just don't loose the special funnel made to open it. Kind of like losing the key for locking lugs. There's a purpose and an advantage, but don't loose the key. Same with the ignition and the truck having a key lol. There's a purpose and advantage over no keys required, so nobody walks up and jacks your chit, just don't loose the key :ROFLJest: The 5.4 wasn't broken, why create a 6.2? Oh thats right, improvement, staying on top of the curve, something Ford's been pretty good at which has kept them on the top. There is added benefit for a capless fuel system, you just can't be too naive (sp?). It's faster/easier at the pump (yeah not night and day, but it does cut out a step prior to pumping and a step after pumping, and for something done so frequently, it is a benefit). It automatically locks but requires no key to open with a gas nozzle (yeah they probably could have combined it with a cap, but again, see the last sentence). And it's 1 less part to drop, get lost, fall down and chip the paint. No benefit you say? Maybe not in your opinion, but looking at the big picture, there are advantages. Whether the tank is capless or not doesn't have anything to do with young punks putting stuff in the tank. It's actually 1 step more on preventing that since it requires the special funnel, a fuel nozzle, or some finger trick work to open it, which unless someone is familiar with it, they more than likey won't figure out how to bypass it. Nothing stops them from unscrewing a standard gas cap and dumping stuff in. And you can get a locking setup for either style. Moot point on tampering. It's a locking cap, not a regular cap. Not quite sure what the funny part is. And as I mentioned above, the design does have benefits, so it was an improvement and has its advantages. Don't really see where Ford went wrong with it :?
