FUEL QUESTION

A buddy said he heard that some of the fuel filters (I think he mentioned Racor) were not designed as well as the Motorcraft filters. Something about the design of them starving the engine.
I have not seen this on the FTE forum and I have been using Racor since I purchased the truck without any issues.
Just curious of others have heard the same.

He said she said. Racor is probably fine but some filters are inferior. I see no reason not to go with motorcraft.
