The fuel filter location for the 2009 Ford F-150 5.4L is underneath the driver's side door, located on the interior frame rail near the rear of the transfer case. Over time, vehicle components can wear out and lose effectiveness. It is important to replace the fuel filter approximately every 30,000 miles to maintain optimal performance. Failing to do so can lead to issues with fuel efficiency, affecting your miles per gallon. Ensuring your gas tank is in good condition is crucial to avoid potential problems such as a malfunctioning control valve, a loose gas tank, or a stuck gas cap, which can be challenging to address. Additionally, any gas leaks should be promptly investigated and addressed.

    When it comes to the 2009 F-150 5.4 XL, the fuel filter is part of the gas tank, so you'll need to remove the gas tank assembly to access it. Getting this fixed by a mechanic usually costs around $700. It's important to address this issue promptly, but the silver lining is that you'll likely only need to replace this part twice in your lifetime.
