61150 Fuel Filter Housing Wrench — Precision Tool for Ram 1500 EcoDiesel
Changing the fuel filter on your 2014-2019 Ram 1500 3.0L EcoDiesel should not be a wrestling match. The iFJF 61150 Fuel Filter Wrench is CNC-machined from billet aluminum for a perfect fit on the EcoDiesel's filter housing cap—no slipping, no damage, no frustration.
The factory plastic cap is notorious for rounding off when using generic strap wrenches or pliers. This purpose-built tool engages all six flats of the hex cap evenly, distributing torque and eliminating the risk of cap damage during removal and installation.

Why You Need This Wrench
The Ram EcoDiesel's fuel filter cap is plastic and easily damaged by generic tools. Dealerships charge $150+ for a filter change—and if they crack your cap, it is a tow bill plus $200+ for a new housing. At under $20, the 61150 aluminum wrench is the cheapest insurance for your EcoDiesel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this wrench work on my 2016 Ram EcoDiesel?
A: Yes. The 61150 wrench fits all 2014-2019 Ram 1500 models with the 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel, regardless of trim level.
Q: Can I use a regular oil filter wrench instead?
A: We strongly advise against it. Generic strap or claw wrenches can crush the plastic cap or round off hex flats. The 61150 engages all six flats evenly with zero play.
Q: Does this also fit the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel?
A: Yes. The 2014-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 3.0L EcoDiesel uses the same fuel filter housing.
Q: What torque spec should I tighten the cap to?
A: Hand-tighten, then 1/4 turn with wrench. Factory spec is approximately 18-22 ft-lbs. The O-ring does the sealing, not the torque.
Q: Is this better than the plastic OEM 61150 wrench?
A: This is an upgraded aluminum version. Billet construction provides superior durability and will not crack or wear over repeated use.
