Schrader Valve on Fuel Rail
Hello all,
I have a 2002 4.2L F150 (140k miles). Is it possible that there is not a schrader valve on the fuel rail? I am assuming it is on the left (passenger side) in the engine compartment but I can't seem to find it. I can see two that I believe are for the Air Conditioner, but do not see one for the fuel line. I've looked at manuals (Haynes) and even a drawing from a 2002 shop manual but no luck in finding it on my engine. I would like to change my fuel filter and would rather relieve the pressure using a fuel guage and run off than disconnecting fuses or using the inertia switch. Thanks in advance for any help.

Just a quick update. I changed my fuel filter ($12 motorcraft) today. I pulled the fuse (#10), cranked the engine (no start), jacked the truck, and replaced the fuel filter (with $8.00 tool from Harbor Freight) all in about 10 minutes. I am good to go for another 15,000 miles. Thanks to the forum for your help, I really appreciate it. For anyone else debating about changing their fuel filter themselves, I say go for it! The job is easy and you can save some money. Thanks again for the help.
