Which fuel filter is best?

[IA7.3]

I've been doing some online searching on this website, google, and manufacturer sites but its hard to find good information.

Which fuel filters does everyone run and what type of mileage do you get? any information like efficiency and micron of filtration would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Tried posting a simular question a while back.........probadly going to changing over an Air Dog II til then will be changing them will the oil at every 5,000 and going with the Ford factory ones

the air dogs would be better. i would love to do that setup.

Yea I think it will be just getting a little worried of how Sh*tty the fuel can be depending where you go.....and then having the motor have problems becasue of that didn`t worry about it as much as I have with these newer ones that is for sure!

I have always used WIX. NAPA and CARQUEST brand are wix brand also. Or fleetguard I would use a name brand for sure.

I have a wix in it now, and it is a 14 micron filter, the baldwin one is a 7 micron. I'm just looking for a good filter to keep the sh*t out of my engine and keep her alive as long as i can.

did you notice any differences with the truck? or am I over analyzing this whole filter thing?

I did so many things in one week, muffler delete, DIY intake, New fuel filter, fuel lubricant, new tires and waxed it, I don't know what to credit anything to. I think any good filter will do if you change it & make sure you buy your fuel from a truck stop or high volume place that offers quality fuel. Keep your tank as full as possible in the winter months etc...
Just like oil. Some guys try to squeeze every mile out of it, I just run Rotella non-synthetic & giggle when it comes out golden after 3000 miles.

A 7 micron filter sounds better than a 14 though.
