This is a bit of an odd thread. Are you just itching to replace the fuel filters, or is there something in the fuel system of your F355 which necessitates changing the filters? The filters for the F355 are pretty standard Bosch filters, and certainly nothing exotic. They usually get changed during an engine-out belt service, but rarely more often. More importantly, if you're not familiar with the fuel system of the car, my suggestion would be don't mess with it. Whether its the fuel divider block and its penchant for pyrotechnics, or the sweet-bajeezus location of the filters directly above nuclear-hot manifolds, there are lots of ways for this to go wrong.

If I misunderstood the original question/intent, then ignore everything I've posted.

 

Don't forget the copper washers...

Do the crush washers come with the engine outservice kit?

 

Yes. 2x 10280060 or 4x 10280060, depending on whether you have the single pump or duel fuel pumps.

 

I thought so thanks

 

It's not a special part, but there are many ways to eff this up. Unless you absolutely want to, I would leave it alone. And if you even have to ask where it is, then … by all means leave it be. Sleeping dogs... and all.

 

Well his education on location has to start somewhere.

Doesn't mean he can't change a stupid fuel filter.

 

If you are going to change it put it in place and mark the ends once finger tight withthe new filter.
This is because the stainless cables need to be in the correct position for the fuel lines to be routed correctly and not rubbing.

Take some before and after pics as well.

 

Torque values for the fuel filter nuts are given in the workshop manual. Seems there are different torque settings for in and out.

Inlet = 40Nm.
Outlet = 34Nm
