This fuel filter has been installed 3 years. I have a Baldwin in line filter. Based on color does it look like I have injector o-ring issues?


1999.5. 7.3. 202,000 miles.

 

That is NOT what I would call a black filter.

 

Nope, no oil there...

 

I wouldn't call it black either. What color was it when it was installed? Not sure I have ever seen a white OEM filter come out looking brown like that either? Was the element brown when it was installed? If so, I'd say it looks pretty good.

 

That's not an oem filter though. It's got the wrong gasket and the cap is part of the filter.

 

I run this secondary to a bf1212. I figured it would be easier than a delete. Again this is 3 years old. My Baldwin filter had about 1/3 teaspoon of water and a very small amount of particulate in the bottom of the filter. You could easily fit it on top of a number two pencil eraser.
One thing the truck starts a lot quicker since I changed both filters today.
