Which fuel filter to buy?
I have been told FLEETGARD is a good filter, but what about others? How does WIX filters rate? I have been told by a bunch of people not to use FRAM as they tend to fall apart. I need to get one soon and can't find anyone around Youngstown, Ohio that carries Fleetgard, would a truck dealership carry these?
Thanks

Baldwin PF 7977 it filters down to 5 micron the Fleetguard is a 7 micron. As for Wix some of there filters are 10 micron and some are 7 micron and you need to use a 7 micron or smaller and the filter needs to be able to remove water from your fuel like the Baldwin and Fleetguard do. Baldwin PF7977 is nominal at 1-2 microns and absolute at 5 microns. Absolute is 98.7% efficiency and nominal is 50% efficiency. One other thing Wix will not tell anyone if there filter will remove water so I would not take a chance and one it in my truck. Oh I run the Baldwin filter with out any problems. Also I can buy Baldwin cheaper locally then i can a Fleetguard from Genos and pay shipping.

I'm running Baldwin because of what I've read here. I can get Baldwin at my local truck & trailer shop too. Heard not so good things about Wix, they don't seem to be up to speed on the 7 micron requirement. If I'm not mistaken, Fleetguard is the OEM filter that you could get from the dealer. I can also get my OEM filters at my local Advance Auto Parts store, maybe you could check with them.
