Hey F150PS peeps. Doing some hurricane prep and I want to empty my two 5 gallon steel Jerry cans into my tank. Of course I know about the OEM Grey funnel that we need to add snake oil into our tanks….since I am dumping in 6 month old diesel, does anyone know of a screen/filter that fits inside or sits in top of grey funnel? Trying to keep crud out of the tank….

If I am dealing with sediment, I go one of two ways. Option 1 is to put a coffee filter in the funnel. Next option that I use is a small low pressure fuel pump, some rubber hose, and then a fuel filter. Honestly, if you have better things to do, a coffee filter, a spare fuel can, and a funnel will probably work best.

My bigger concern would be potential algae growth, if that fuel has been sitting for a while, especially in warm humid climates.

I removed the factory fill stuff and there is no screen. The path of the storm is right over our area, be safe!

If it were me, debris is the least of my concern! As long as there is no water, let the frame and engine filter catch it. The frame filter is big and would take a lot to stop it up! Be safe!

Our trucks filters are good… but the less crap you get into the tank the better. If in doubt don’t do it. Fuel pumps and injectors are not cheap and warranty will not cover for contaminated fuel.

@FUGAZI, how did you fare with the hurricane? We're hoping for the best.
