Question Best place to buy fuel filter?

Where do you get your fuel filters and whats the best price. Called NAPA and they wanted over $40 for the FL3518. I think its in need of a change or close to it.

Thanks a bunch!!

Why are those so cheap and NAPA so pricey? Even Ford wanted $45 and said if I get aftermarket I will need a new cap. I don't understand that......

I got mine from Geno's also. When I went there to get a link it looks like they are specializing in Dodge now. I had to put in the part number to pull up a Ford part, couldnt see anything Ford on that site. Might just be me early in the morning with not enough coffee though.

I bought a bunch back a year ago or so from Geno's garage, them drop-in filters work fine with the stock cap, got one more left. Like mentioned above, Geno's just does Dodge now, nothing on their web-site about Ford.

Check with Geno's, they are still selling what Ford stock they have, then it's just Dodge??

Ford filters are made by Racor. Have been using them for 9 years no problem with stock cap. Try DieselFilterOnline.Com 16.95
