so what style of fuel filter is everybody using and is there any advantages?

lets call the one with the metal and holes number 1, the metal band number 2 and plain number 3.

so what style of fuel filter is everybody using? the only one i have ever bought is the one on the right and that is usually a fram from tractor supply. the one on the left is supposed to be a purolator and the one on the right is supposed to be an acdelco, and the one in the bottom is supposed to be a wix. is there any benefits to a particular design?

OK I see 3 filters all side by side don't see a bottom one and you talk about there being two on the right. I'm confused ):h

ok, well i have 2 in the top row and one in the bottom. well, lets call metal w/holes number 1, metal band number 2, and plain number 3. sorry about that.

LOL Thanks

I've always had #3, never seen 1 or 2 before.

Thats the one I've always seen too.

I've never seen 1 or 2 either. I've replaced my filter 3~4 times per year and always gotten the #3 style.

I've used a #2 steel band one once.

I was told that it's an older filer with a prefilter built into it. Stanadyne replaced it with #3. I would say that both #1 and #2 are the older design and have been superceded by #3.

#3

The only one i have ever seen is the #3.I have bought different brand's(wix's,baldwin,etc) and if you look on the bottom metal part of the filter they are all stamped Standadyn.So i guess that one company makes them.

Hey sub5, any pictures of your cold air intake?

yeah the only one i have ever used was the #3 plain, but after shopping online i see that there are different styles.

I've used the wix since day one.

#3 about every 9,000-10,000 miles. Never seen the others.
