Looking for a good fuel filter, so which one? When I bought the truck about a year ago the owner told me it was recently changed. But hey, who knows right?

 

I have always used racor filters. They are the OEM supplier.

 

Me too. I just bought some from here Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines

 

Check to see if the P.O. installed one with the integrated lid. If it has that you'll need to buy a lid to use with OE racor if you decide to go that route.

 

OEM for the fuel and oil filters here...

 

Puralator.Made in USA.

 

Same here, that is what i allways usse.

 

same for me, Racor from Clay. the one piece filter\cap can leak, I know!

 

Baldwins.

Have the integrated lid.

Never had a leak.

I too like the Baldwin. It is integrated with the lid and comes ready to just put on. It also has a 1/2" drive in the middle of the lid so you can use a 1/2" drive ratchet to remove it. Very easy to change, just don't over tighten it with the 1/2" drive.

 

what he said

 

I've also had good luck with Puralator.

 

I have always used OEM/Racor filters. I will have to check out Baldwin. I like the 1/2" square drive idea better than using a strap wrench or piece of wood and a hammer to get the lid on/off.

 

I've run two baldwins with no leaks and the 1/2" drive hole is nice. Switched to racor and bought a cap from dieselorings which has a 1" nut molded into the top. Baldwins are good but having a separate cap is just my preference.

 

Good to hear about Purolator.......got one behind my back seat just in case.....installed my last Racor about 8k miles ago......my local discount store carries the Purolator....
