Installed wrong fuel filter
I bought fuel filter for my f250 psd and thought that maybe the ones that were in the motorcraft box were the rights one. The one that went on the lower filter was a little different so i assumes that maybe it was a new and improve model. went back and bought the same pair of filter and saw that someone else had swapped them. put the right one on right way. did i damage anything?

My thought is maybe someone had swapped the motorcraft one out with a fram or store brand and if it fit that is most likely what happened you just paid too much for an offbrand or a ripp off fram filter... just pay attn to you truck unless the filter degraded alot I believe your fine... You can get those filters for much less online and they are racor which is the same as motorcraft from places like fleetfilters.com

y do you ask that? did you have to modify it to get it in?
I don't think you could have hurt the housing with the filter though
also you might get even more info from the guys and gals down on the 6.0L section they are very helpful and know much more than I know
