F81Z9G270BA Fuel Filter Cap Green Aluminum for Ford 7.3L 1999-2003

Filter AccessoriesCE / ISO 9001

F81Z9G270BA is the green billet aluminium replacement for the plastic fuel filter cap on the Ford 7.3L Powerstroke from 1999 to 2003. The cap is machined from 6061-T6 and turned with a 1 inch hex so it opens with a socket instead of a special tool. It replaces Ford F81Z-9G270-BA, Navistar 1831193C91, Alliant RK31449 and Dorman 904-203. The O-ring is not included; it comes with the new fuel filter.

❓ FAQ

No. The cap is supplied on its own, and the O-ring that seals it comes with a new fuel filter element. Fit the cap together with a new filter so the ring is new at the same time.

Yes, for the 1999 to 2003 7.3L engine in F-250 through F-550 Super Duty, E-350 through E-550 and Excursion. It threads onto the existing bowl and replaces the factory plastic lid, and the bowl itself is not changed.

The factory lid is plastic and splits when a socket is cocked on it, which shows up as a fuel or air leak at the bowl. The 6061-T6 cap is cut from solid bar and turned with a 1 inch hex, so it takes a square socket instead of the ribbed plastic grip.

1 inch across the flats, so a 1 inch socket or the common fuel filter cap wrench turns it. The cap is 108 mm across and 60.5 mm tall and weighs about 600 g.

Description

Product Overview

F81Z9G270BA is a billet aluminium fuel filter cap for the Ford 7.3L Powerstroke V8 in 1999 to 2003 Super Duty trucks, E-Series vans and the Excursion. The cap replaces the factory plastic lid on the fuel bowl and is machined from 6061-T6 with a 1 inch hex on top, so a socket removes it instead of the original ribbed plastic grip. It measures 4.25 inches across and 2.38 inches tall, weighs about 600 g, and takes the O-ring that ships with a new fuel filter.

Key Features

Green anodised finish — the cap is machined and then finished in this colour, so the bowl lid matches the engine bay rather than standing out as bare metal.
6061-T6 billet aluminium — the cap is cut from solid bar, so it does not split the way the factory plastic lid does when a socket is cocked on it.
1 inch hex — a standard socket turns the cap, which ends the hunt for the ribbed plastic tool and the cracked lid that usually follows.
Seals on the filter O-ring — the cap uses the ring supplied with a new element, so no separate seal has to be sourced or tracked.
Twist-on fit — the cap threads onto the existing bowl with no adapter, and the bowl itself stays on the engine.
