HEY guys guess what! I was at the dealer today and had them check my fuel filter after reading some things here. As we came to find out the fuel filter on my LLY is different the the LB7! Totally different part number. Does anyone know if it is a different manafacture or if GM figured out time to make this better like the Cat filters?

The guy at Racor that I talked to said the filters are exactly the same inside, just A longer can.

Will the LLY filter fit on the LB7?
Is it a better filter or just a longer can?
Hmm...
The word is that the LB7 filter will fit the LLY, but not the other way around since the LLY filter will hit the engine on an LB7.
Racor says it's the same filter media, just more of it.

Sounds like in an emergency I can use an LB7 fuel filter on my LLY. Was worried as I'm leaving from NW PA for Florida Feb 27 and don't have a spare LLY fuel filter.

Napa has the fuel filters for the LB7, about $33.00 -$35.00, In my area anyway. My guess is that they are made by Racor.
