Baldwin PF7977 question

[George Cameron]

I bought 5 Baldwin PF7977 fuel filters and I noticed that they were in the Baldwin cardboard box without any plastic wrapping on the filter itself. Is this normal? Fleetguard FS19856 filters I bought from Geno's came wrapped in plastic.



The filters look right as compared to the pictures on the Baldwin website. Just wondering if I was sold some counterfeits...

Yes... that's completely normal with Baldwin fuel filters.

I just picked up two of these(PF7977) today at the local Grainger's, $17. 50 each. Seemed a bit high priced, but has been several years since I purchased fuel filters. I used the last Fleetguard in my supply yesterday, so these will be the first Baldwins I will use in my OEM canister, OP is correct, no plastic wrap.

Next time you might consider buying them from B-Line filter in Odessa, TX. Currently only $13. 33 each and even with shipping might save you some money if you stock up on several filters.



No affiliation... just a satisfied long-time Internet customer.

Thanks John, I bookmarked the url. I also went on Baldwin's site and found several other distributors, one(six robblees') is only about a mile away $15. 49.

Generally speaking, you don't buy from Grainger to save money. You deal with them when you want it now.

I used my old PNB/USWEST/QWEST/CENTURYLINK account number, seems maybe we weren't getting a discount all those years...

$13. 85 a year ago for those @ Grainger. We're suppposed to be living in low inflation times.
