I was all Gung ho to order it
I have a concern or question
I think using the Donaldson spin in is great, but
we are still left with disconnecting the plastic weak link fittings to change the element
Any body know of a mount bracket or ??
That would give room to remove filter element without Fiddling with the plastic fuel line fittings that does not require re inventing the wheel

Thanks

 

I am about to install this on my 2018 - gives you room to swap spin on filter without undoing all line fittings.

I put the blackmarket filter head on my truck, but used an adapter to run the 416-1225 Cat UHE filter.

 

did it have the 3rd port for fuel return
thanks

 

yes, you cut the QD connector off and use a clamp. I have had 0 issues with it, I would reccomend not using the cat filter in the kit and running the higer efficient Baldwin or getting a thread adapter and using a 1R-0750/1R0749 or better yet the 416-1225.

 

thanks
Maybe an adapter AN fitting to npt
Plastic tube's and clamps give me shivers
But so does the way its on now

 

^^^^ wise words here. BMP is full of it with that being a 2 micron filter, the 150-4142 is a 15 micron absolute fuel filter that is spec'd to top out on a 2.2L compactor. Not exactly the best cross references for a 5.1 micron OEM spec on a 406 cubic inch engine. I would get the 3/4-16 to 1-14 adapter mentioned.

Here is one:

and run a 1-14 filter

Or run a BF46228 which is 4 micron absolute:

If you wanted to retain the QC you could got with this:

Takes the plastic out of the equation.

Otherwise you would need a 3/16th hose bard on the return fitting.

Unfortunately, the filter Fleece specs for their kid doesn't meet OEM spec, it is 9 microns. Just food for thought.

I do have to ask, how much of a PIA is it to get that filter in there? Isn't it circa 10 inches?

 

thanks
I was reading the micron on the cat...it seemed not to meet sprc from.ford
really want to not dick with the plastic hose rnds every filter chsnge so the bmp base fits
just need a better filter

 

it's is rubber on my 2018, and it goes on a metal barbed fitting on my BMP filter head.

 

There is plenty of room between the filter and the steering shaft on my truck. I have 2 water seperators and a 1R-0750 upstream of it so I get lots of miles between changes. Thinking about adding 1 more 750 at some point.
