Fuel Filter replacement

[6.0newbie]

I just service my newly purchased 03 F350 6.0l SRW 4X4. Is there a trick or procedure to removing air from the fuel system? I have a slight "buck" and slight loss of power.

cycle the key to the on position 5-6 times without starting it hopefully that does the trick, you may not have seated the o-rings properly did you put some oil on them before installing?

did you drain water seperator too?i always change top filter then bottom filter and i drain the water sep. close her up cycle key 3-4 times and starts right up. never have air problems. whats your FICM voltage? make sure you got them caps on good and not pinchin the gaskets and make sure you rub some fuel on the rings.

Yes, I did oil the orings. I will try the key cycle and get back to you. Thank you.

if you still havin problems loosen the top cap and cycle the key just make sure not to overflow fuel everywhere. you are using motorcraft filters correct?

@ Mytractor,
Yes sir, the filter kit I bought, Fleetguard FS19797, comes with both filters and new orings.

the filter comes in a MOTORCRAFT box. use motorcraft only that could be your problem right there.

Ok. I will change them again this weekend.

make sure you only use motorcraft filters for the oil filter too or you can destroy the whole motor. Part No. FL2016
