How to install an inline filter?

mrvmax on Mon June 09, 2008 10:19 PM User is offline

Year: 1996
Make: Ford
Model: F350
Country of Origin: United States

I want to purchase the inline filter from AMA but I cannot find directions on how to choose one and how to install (where and how). Can someone tell me how and where to install? The PDF directions link on the AMA website does not work.

Tim- If I were you- I'd recommend inline filters to customers who may not have thought of this..... for any nasty 3/8 liquid line corrosion or rub-through failures-- I use the filters just to splice the lines- after I cut out the bad spot-- I've save mega bucks and time by doing this- who wants to replace the 12 ft liquid line on a full sized van (rear air) when you can splice in a filter..... the instructions clearly say to cut out a 2 inch or so section of line-- I just choose to cut out the bad area.....pretty good huh!!!

After doing that for awhile- I soon discovered the swageloks- which work great as well-- but your filter would serve a dual purpose in this role

-------------------------
The number one A/C diagnostic tool there is- is to know how much refrigerant is in the system- this can only be done by recovering and weighing the refrigerant!!
Just a thought.... 65% of A/C failures in my 3200 car diagnostic database (GM vehicles) are due to loss of refrigerant due to a leak......

So my current orifice will fit into the filter? Also, I'm not good at guessing tubing size, how can I tel the size of my line? It's a 1996 Ford F350 pickup with the diesel engine.
