6.0 fuel filter

[2005pwerstroke]

Hey guys I am looking to replace my fuel filters this weekend and was wondering if the primary fuel filter will fit my air dog fuel system and if not where I could buy just the secondary. Already tried the stealership they want $80 for both which I would hate to pay since I only need one filter

wix numbers for FASS is:33405 and 51202 if that is any help

Thanks but I have heard that its important to use motor craft fuel and oil filters

Every place I've seen only sells them as a set. Check with sunrise ford or Tousley ford for the best motorcraft prices. And no, the stick filter will not work with your ad.

That sucks so all the guys that run air dogs buy both filters and just throw one away?

 

[Derkperk]

That's what I have. Been told you can pull the guts out of the stock engine mounted bowl and not run the filter. Yet to try it myself. There is more than enough filtration through the ad set up.

Interesting might have to look into that

thanks im definitely interested at that price. but want to make sure that they are the same as the motorcraft filters i know 6.0's can start to have issues if they dont get the proper motorcraft filter

we use them in our shop often and cannot find any differences.

I run both the AD filters as well as the OEM filters. I'll change the AD filters at least twice during the year, the OEM filters are changed yearly. During oil changes I will drain both water separator units. I use a clean glass container to allow the fuel to settle and inspect for contaminants and water. I find the quality of fuel I use to be rather good. I do get water out of the separators but it's a few ounces.
