Filter Cross Ref.
Gentlemen (and/or ladies) ... Wally-World Strikes again! (lol) I can't afford a "real" (more expensive) fuel filter (been on work. comp. for 6 months & 3 days now) - but I needed one (W-A-A-A-Y overdue!) - so I got a Fram at Wal*Mart. I rolled the dice on a "G8018", as it was applicable in every way, shape and form that I could see/figure - EXCEPT for/in their application book there.
Now, I do have a Flex-Fuel Ranger, BUT, as this same filter ("G8018") was listed for another FFV Ford (same year - '99, but different model - I forget right now which vehicle, but it was a bigger FFV truck, or an FFV SUV), I figure there should be no problem (?!?). This filter should (WILL) "bolt-on" - but should I be aware of something else regarding FFV, or "pressure" (or whatever - anything else) on this system - in other words - could Wal*Marts book (and in fact, Fram's website too) be wrong - rather - not updated well enough?? They also did same thing with the Taurus FFV's (ommitted from the book) as with the Rangers.
Thx in advance,
Glenn ...

FFV Ponderance!
Hi TOUGHLover,
A bit of a pain in the buns but get a hold of fram corporate and pose you interesting question to customer service then press the issue to extend to the engineering department.
Your wondering if this filter is E-85 compliant! Damn Good Question I'd Say!!

Yes sir - thx - I just may end-up having to do that (but I need to summon some extra patience when calling into a big corporation like that - so impersonal, and time-consuming - usually).
I do greatly appreciate the response - I was simply hoping to get the "qwik" answer here on this one, as I am well past-due to change out this filter (and having symptoms with the current (installed) filter as perhaps it is clogging (about 100K on it!!!).
Thx again,
