How do you change a fuel filter in a diesel Ford F-350 Super Duty?

Jiffy Lube wants like $65, i'm guessing it's got to be fairly easy to do. Does anyone know how to do it and can you fill me in?How do you change a fuel filter in a diesel Ford F-350 Super Duty?The fuel filter is on top of the engine. Depending on the year model, it is either a screw on filter or a paper element inside a canister. If it is an older model, simply unscrew the old filter, fill the new one with fuel and screw it back on. If it's a newer model, it is located under a black cover on top of the engine that is held in place with a couple of nuts that will need to be removed. The filter housing has a 3%26quot; diameter black plastic cap on it. Unscrew the cap, remove the old filter and replace with a new one. Fill housing to top with fuel and screw cap back on.

That's it.How do you change a fuel filter in a diesel Ford F-350 Super Duty?When you buy the filter at the parts store the instructions come with it. I change mine every 10,000 miles because I use B20 bio diesel in my F350. The job is pretty easy, just messy.
