When doing something like this it always makes me feel better if the fuel is nasty, makes me feel like it was time and money well spent.

Hey thanks man! I've been meaning to change mine on my 07-V6 & wasn't sure weather I could do it myself or not. Now I know I can. Very cool.

Your welcome Doc! Its actually a very easy install. It was actually easier than the earlier body style.

Can u tell me is their a special tool required for the plastic clips ???

There is no specific tool that I know of. The green tabs can be pull out with a flat headed screw driver and the line will release.

Wait a minute...do you push the green tabs in, or pull them out with a screw driver?

Just finished the job...You push the green tabs in!  

You had to pull the clips out of the old style filters and replace them, the new ones you push the green tabs, and pull the hoses off.

Your post was very detailed so thanks for posting. Changed it on my '08 and performance is greatly improved. Also I will say although it is quick and easy, never get careless. I had an old friend recently that was doing some work on his car, failed to use anything other than a jack. Yeap, the jack slipped. from what I was told he died instantly. So just let that be a lesson, never take anything for granted. We all have friends, family, kids, do it for them if not for yourself. Thanks again for the post.  

@NM - Sorry to hear about that, our condolences go out to his family. I know that I have been careless with jacks in the past. It's scary to think that it can come to an end by something that seems so trivial. Being raised on a farm it seemed commonplace for me to be in harms way of some type of large machinery. Now that I look back I can't believe that I'm still here.

hey LRS thank you!

for the information provided in this page.

It was very helpful to the maintenance on my 2007 mustang god bless america and god bless you all !!!

should you release the fuel pressure first, before removel ?

@gtphil - It would not be a bad idea to release the pressure but on an 05-09 Mustang it's not really possible.

Instead just have a drain pan ready and use a rag to cover the connection when you remove it so gas doesn't spray everywhere.

This is a great write up, except you missed a couple of important information.

That's not true Nate. You should relieve fuel pressure first.

Got to your fuse box and remove the fuel pump relay which is 21 if you look in the manual.

Start the engine and wait (let it idle) for it to stall or it might not even start.

After engine stalls turn ign switch off and disconnect the neg battery cable. Then follow procedures that are above. Return everything back before starting the engine. Play safe and enjoy.

Anyone can do this, just try it see how easy it can be, but be careful.

@Edward - I stand corrected! Good call Edward.

I noticed the fuel lines tabs on the v6's look different. They're smaller and slim. Don't try to pull because you'll damage it. Don't waste time by pushing in with your thumb. Use a small flat head screw driver (save yourself some time) and push it slightly in and pull the filter out. It's a good thing I just happened to walk by that 06 v6 because they would of pull that tab out. Keep in mind sixers! Play safe.

Appreciate the write up. Changed the fuel filter in the 08 GT today. Couldn't have asked for a better write up.

A friend of mine sent me this article and said it was the best out there. I sent him an email back and told my friend that he hadn't sent the perfect article because he hadn't mentioned anything about mother, gettin drunk, my pickup and prison.

Well I was drunk, the day my maw, got out of prison!

LOL Thanks!
