Fuel filters are all made by Racor no matter what the label. Just make sure you get one with the dashed black stripe all the way around. That means it is the dual pleat.

Look for the newer longer dual pleat filter. Its a TP1298B. We have been getting them in pretty steady here.

DmaxalliTech---Is this the same filter you are selling on your site? Need to change mine and would like to make sure I get the TP1298B.

Yes, I still have the filters listed as the TP1298A, but I need to update the site to represent the new filter. All orders at this time for the A are being filled with the B's

Yes, every single filter, no matter what label is manufactured by racor. Even Napa Gold.

You might as well get the longer pleat the dmaxallitech recommends so you will get a longer life out of it.

Roadking05- "Cummings" is related to acheiving orgasm. Cummins is an engine and company.:sheephump . Not making fun of you, I kust see this too often. As a foreign porn star once said "She's cummings"

Some say it a real bad job to change fuel filter.
I found it to be verry easy from top. did not pull battery or inside finder.
Only problem was clamp on fuel line cut the back of my hand.
Took pliers and turned clamp around that wont happen again.
Remember to unplug wire. EASY JOB.............................;)

She understand how I feel about my truck. One driver for my baby................ME!
I'm waiting for my fuel filter to arrive, I just hope I don't have to bend the air conditioning line away. It sounds like caseytye didn't have to.
