Thanks to this forum, I was able to find part numbers for the Ford "vacuum switch" or "restricted fuel filter sensor" as international calls it. Mine started leaking a bit and after reading through many, many posts I found the info on this part. Thanks to everyone! These trucks can be expensive enough without Ford taking advantage of us.

Ford #E8TZ-9S283-A $58.00

International #1809435C1 $14.00

 

What does it do??? And where is it??

 

yeah, what does it do?

 

Fuel Filter Restricted sensor; on filter housing 94/95; on regulator block 96/97
(Ford) E8TZ-9S283-A

This is the sensor that triggers the "fuel filter" warning light on the dash. Looks like an old fashioned oil pressure sending unit with a single red with white stripe wire attached to the top. On my 97 it is located on the right side of the fuel filter on the fuel pressure regulator block.

 

Thanks for the info... Do they have them on the 2001 PSD??

 

Ahhhhh..thank you for clarifying
