i TRYING TO FIND OUT IF ANY ONE HAS USED A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE FOR THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY BESIDES MOTORCRAFT

WHAT MODEL ACTUALLY FITS
I FOUND 2 MODEL FG 1052 AND FG 1054

AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL PARTS NEEDED BESIDES NEW HOSES AND CLAMPS

 

You can separate the regulator from the bowl and run a generic filter base. I did it on my '97 E350 some years back. I mounted it in place of the underhood battery. (Moved dual batts inside.)
