I have a 1986 Ranger 4x4, 2.9L, with Dual Tanks. I have replaced the
fuel pump on the rail but I cant find the fuel filter. Does anyone
know where it is? There is a tank selector switch upstream of the
pump but nothing that looks like a fuel filter.

I had the same problem with my 89' F-150 4X4 5.0L
Not all models came with a inline fuel filter some only had the in
tank. If there is a inline filter it is supposed to be just before the
engine in the frame rail driverside(fuel injected models). carburated
model it is located at the fuel line inlet of the carburator.

**Note: mine is fuel injected and only has in tank filters from
factory.**

I had an 87 Ranger 2.9L 4X4 with a single gas tank. The fuel filter was
alongside the frame rail on the passenger side, but it was partially hidden
by a sheet metal cover. Follow the fuel lines underneath the truck and
you'll find it. It's about the size of a soup can.
