Yes I did. Spend the an extra $100 and get an irate kit or make your own kit for way cheaper. Mine is pissing fuel everywhere so now I have to redo it the right way.

Care to elaborate on what or where and why it is leaking? I hate to just slam a new vendor who seems to be legit and bringing needed products to our limited market. Not that you don't have a problem just a few details, and did you contact Bar None and how did they respond?
I know one of the other builders either Bob from Dieselsite or Dennis from Strictly commented they could not use the NAPA (WIX) heads any longer because of poor quality control causing too many leaks due to poor machining. I was worried about this when I saw Bar None was using NAPA.

Wix offers two different styles of filter heads:
- generic spill on filter
- Stanadyne style, keyed filter (Wix Fuel Manager)
I have no issued with my Wix Fuel Manager filter heads. They were part of the E-fuel system from NLTD.

I used Bean's fuel system since when they had Stanadyne FM100 filter heads and they are still working fine on another truck. The Stanadyne FM100s don't cost much more than the Wix heads if you shop on the internet.
The Wix FM filter heads are rated to a slightly lower pressure rating than the Stanadyne FM 100 heads.

The only downfall going with the Stanadyne or Wix Fuel Manager is not too many places stock the keyed filters so you need to have spares on hand.

Too bad Donaldson doesn't make a filter for the above pictured filters. The updated Wix filter numbers are 33912 & 33911.

They have an adapter fitting for the banjo bolt with an o ring, had a feeling it would leak and it eventually did. Yes it has napa filters and bases, haven't had a problem with those. Did have to make a new mount for the filter/pump setup because the tube welded to the filter bracket to hold the fuel pump was welded wrong so it was rubbing the water separator. Contacted them about the leak and still haven't received what would 'fix' the problem. I Ordered a bunch of 6 an fittings and ss braided hose to get rid of all of that leaking mess in the valley.

Stanadyne sells their FM 100 filters in 3.6", 4.3", 5.1" and 6" lengths for those who want a different length filter.
