Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Inline fuel filter

[tmacc]

Well, after installing my 8th lift pump in 200 k miles, I figured I'd install an inline fuel filter. Any suggestion? Nothing fancy or expensive, just something that works and is easy to service.

TIA

I have been checking out a few ideas my self I talked to keith at Vulcan Performance Home Page and I purchased a in line fuel head unit pretty simple I have the fuel line already from my fass pump so I will bypass the stock filter housing and the mounting spot will be by the firewall but on the frame rail havent figured out position/location exact but fittings and pieces they have all of it. I wouldnt recommend smaller than a 10 micron filter. hope this helps.

Glacier Diesel Power has some nice 2 micron systems. Going with F/W sep and 2 micron on mine after $8000. 00+ to replace the whole fuel system.

You said "smaller" but we all knew you actually meant "larger" or more coarse. The 2 micron units would be ideal. I'm looking to put one on my truck also as I run a lot of "salvaged" fuel from rigs that are going to the salvage yard. No point in sending them out to salvage with 300 gallons of fuel in their tanks.

How much did the Snow kit cost?

I just found a bookmark I had saved some time back for Glacier Diesel Power. They are selling a 2 micron filter for $209. Is that comparable to the kit you got?

10 micron

well I have always been told and read threads that 10 micron is best for 2nd gen and 2-7 micron for 3rd gen due to the common rail. but hey dont take my word for it. alot of times I dont take my own word. I will call sourceautomotive. biz or vulcanperformance and ask what they recommend. the glacier pump is the same as vulcanperformance. its pretty cheap.

good luck
