There are 2 types of clips 1. The white clip that comes with the genuine filter AFG60MC and ryco filter Z528 2. small black one. ( this is the one i needed ) this one comes with a valvoline filter VF36 |

I've been caught out by this today.
No one seems to have a filter with a small clip. I'm yet to try Ford, as they're closed until Tuesday. Why is there a mixture! |

I had the same problem with my AU2 sedan.
I had a genuine motorcraft. I had purchased the double threaded filter I was assured fitted-then had to swap it. after much issues I salvaged a clip from a 1999 AU sedan fuel pump hose.

after I got a replacement clip I had to replace the hose due to small leak. so check.
inside the connector is an oring that had torn. some of the hoses I raided the oring had expanded out of shape. the clip fits aftermarket replacement part.

So Ford don't sell the little clip?
What are the replacement options? A steel line from an el or something, matched with a thread both ends filter? You'd have to drop the tank to replace the line? |

You can buy the conectors and use normal fuel hose.
the hard nylon like pipe is much better-but I havnt seen this available. I use a similar hose on industrial machines but lower pressure. My AU wagon has fuel tank removed so I cant check. the sedan has 2 hoses from the fuel tank sender about 500mm long.. think one had a different angle on one version.
