I did for a few thousand miles and never had a problem. Switched to electric fuel but it seemed to filter well.

Jim, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. That is just his OPINION. If you've been running them for 150k with no issues, I'd sure not worry..

The filter itself seems okay.

Its the cap I dislike.

Plus metal on the filter, there is moisture in diesel fuel. That just spells disaster for me if you let the truck sit too long.
