FASS 95

I want to apologize in advance if this has been covered before. I was unsuccessful in locating any threads on the topic. I am getting ready to replace the fuel filter on my FASS. Currently, I am using a Fleetguard HF6338 (10 micron). My question is whether it should be 10 or 3 micron? The FASS supplements the OEM filters and pump. Anyone care to share any thoughts? Thanks and have a terrific New Year!

If it came with the 10 micron one then that's the one that I would use. If that's one that you had previously replaced it with then that could be a different situation, but if it came with that one, then that is the one that I would do.

I don't use the supplemental one, I use the fuel replacement one, but I can't remember if it's 10 or 3 at this time, I don't replace it nearly as much as the one at the engine.

Thanks, Tex25025. I replaced the original with the 6338 but upon reflection, and the need to change the filter I was wondering if I should be going to the 3 micron, given 6.0L's known fuel/injector issues?
