Ive had my ls for 60k miles and the first time I changed my fuel filter is was a week later and in the UP, I was spraying fuel all over the road..enough the advancetrack was kicking in. The culprit?! a cheap ass Chinese filter....the filter tubes/barbs were too small and one blew out pumping GALLONS of fuel onto the road while on my way to the bar...(i was pissed enough at her i left her in the parking lot and had a good night in Marquette )
My '03 v8 manual says to use a FG-1011 fuel filter, and that was apparently superseded by the FG-083? (i think its 083 thats on it now)....Every wizard and online thingy tells me to put a FG-986B on it, only the fuel lines on that filter are too small to fit the lines on the car- like the FG-986B was a v6 filter and mine has 3/8" fuel lines.
Has anyone else run into this? oh yea, my car has never had the "Ford-R" clips on it either....What gives, either i have a bastard car or im lucky the fuel filter has never blown off.(again) Anyhow, i have 50k on this filter and i want to change it again, im just tired of being sent the wrong filter and being told IM WRONG!!
ok im better now.
