was thinking it might possibly be my problem who knows ??? where is it located

Easy to find.

Standing on the clutch side of the machine, it is on the inside of the frame just behind where the side brace bolts in. You will need a Ford fuel line disconnect tool, available from napa or any auto store for cheap.

Seth...do you take your sled apart just to take pics for guys ;)

MC...you will need to get a FORD 3/8" fuel disconnect tool from an auto parts store to get the fuel filter off, and if you were to pull the tank off as well...there is another fuel line next to the fuel filter that also needs to come off, and that needs a FORD 5/16" fuel disconnect tool

Hahaha, it would almost seem that way wouldn't it...:eek:

No, I took a BUNCH when I was tinkering on it this summer just incase they would ever come in handy:face-icon-small-hap:camera:

Good call on the sizes, I had forgotten about that:beer;

I like to use the plastic fuel line removers the best. They come in a set and have about 5 or 6 different sizes. I remember when at the Dodge dealer about 15 years ago and they sent us the plastic ones. I laughed. I took it back shortly thereafter. I have about 20 alloy, aluminum, metal ones in my tool box that haven't been touched for 15 years. There are also nice for getting into tight areas.

Yeah, the only thing that sucks about the plastic kind is you don't want to drop one. No plastic magnet invented yet. So I thought next time I might tie 15lb fishing line onto the tool handle if I'm worried about the dropsies.

The best source for the filters is High Perf engineering... I think like $26 for the filter.

Any auto supply store has the 5/16" tool you need for disconnecting...The best ones are the cheap plastic ones that come in a set. I think they are like $7

This pic shows the set that is the easiest to use on the 900's...because the hose is so tight to the tank outlet. These plastic ones seem to fit much better than the "plyers type" .. Lisle tools makes a good set as does KD tools.

=======================
If you can find them, the best set is the Lisle angle set.. makes it easy to get into the tight space.

The plastic ones are MUCH easier to use than this "plyers" type
DONT get this kind.

Agreed

I used to barrow my dads plier style and metal fuel line tools, always a pain, then bought my own set of that exact type of white plastic ones shown above. They work great and yeah if I remember correctly the set was about $7.

I put small key ring rings through a hole I drilled so if i drop it the magnet will find it
