I am sure this has been asked before but who makes the best fuel filter? Deutsch, Wix, Fram?? Any help would be nice, going to change mine this weekend and just curious which one to get. I was told they are all pretty much the same but just wanted a heads up from you guys... Thanks in advance.

Did you think I was lying to you when you asked me in PM? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


So far they are all identicle. Meaning that they are all made in the same plant, at the same time by the same manufacturer (Racor). So no one is better then the other in any way. Unless you think a white one is nicer then a orange one. The paint is the only difference, inside they are absolutely identicle. So buy the cheapest.

everyone is the same once you get past the ink on the can

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gifAs info, these are all the numbers I could find for fuel filters; and as has been said here before, all the same on the inside. If I've erred in any numbers or ommited any, please correct me. Thanks

Carquest has them also, dont remember the part # though.

No I did not think you were lying, just making sure something was not invented in the last few hours since I asked you..http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif
