Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

Question Fuel filter 2003 Windstar

I want to replace the fuel filter on our 2003 Windstar.
I purchased a new filter - Motorcraft.

I notice the fuel lines do not appear to use the clip like some other Fords. It looks like one just pushes the buttons on either side in and this will release it the fuel line.

Does this sound correct?

The new filter did not come with clips so it would seem that this is the method.

Boilerman: depending on the thickness of your fingers, you might have a little trouble operating the blue tabs. I had to help one of the techs at the shop since my fingers are a little thinner than his and couldn't push the tabs in far enough to release them.
