Disaster Prevention Kits SPE vs S&S
Hey Guys,
I will be adding a disaster prevention kit to my 15 6.7. i've read a lot on the SPE, which seems by many to be the gold standard. My local Diesel Shop strongly recommends S&S. I've not done a tremendous amount of research on them, so what do you guys say? Is there one kit that's head and shoulders above the rest? Any other manufacturer i should look at?

They have the replaceable Parker Racor SNAPP filters with a clear bowl for observation of the fuel for debris.
Here I'll give you a hand...

I linked to the fuel system products page since I didn't see what MY your truck is. They have some good products though.

S&S Prevention Kit Replacement Filter
I had the Gen 2 kit installed on my 19’ 6.7 back in October, and haven’t had any luck finding a replacement filter (6130120) to order online. Everywhere I’ve looked says they’re out of stock.
Has anyone on here had any luck finding one?

I have the Racor SNAPP filter (no bottom drain) part numbers for the 2 micron, 10 micron and 30 micron marine filters (they are white in color which doesn't matter to me.) I'll provide links later. They are also cheaper than the replacement filters from S&S.

The guy that installed it thought I could probably go a lot more miles between changes.

So there are other filters that will fit with the S&S Gen 2 kit?

S&S, in my opinion, must have went to Parker Racor Filtration to have them design or suggest a filter. Since S&S was updating their basic design, they are the originators of the DPK kit, they wanted to obviously add filtration to it. The Racor SNAPP filter system was already in existence and was a good choice as it's very simple to replace and to monitor the fuel system with the clear plastic body of the filter.
From my research, they come in 2 colors; black cap and white cap. Both colors can come with a bottom drain and have 3 flavors so to speak... That I listed above. But the no drain versions only come in white.
I contacted S&S and asked them about offering a 10 micron replacement filter for cold weather use and they stated they do not. So I figured I'd find a source for them and get them myself.
The SNAPP systems come in regular automotive use (black painted steel filter holder with black top filters) and marine grade (Stainless steel filter holder and white top filter).
I believe Parker manufactures the quick disconnect fittings for the kit.

Also, would 10M work fine? The S&S filter that came with the kit is 2M.
