NAPA Gold Replacement Fuel Filter 99-03 7.3L Ford Powerstroke

With any engine, it is imperative to keep up on maintenance to avoid a potential catastrophe in the long run. One often overlooked area of maintenance is that of the fuel filter. Sure, the job of the fuel filter is to keep clean fuel entering the combustion chamber, and particles out. But when the fuel filter begins to get clogged, it will drastically hinder fuel flow, meaning that the injectors cannot fire properly, reducing the overall power and fuel economy of your engine. This simple task if gone overlooked can not only rob you of power, but harm your injectors and other vital engine components.Start at the top....Unlike the OEM model with its reusable, segregated lid, the NAPA Gold 3817 features a molded plastic lid integrated with the filter element as a single assembly for fast, easy disposal. One less part to fumble with during servicing. Efficient water handling... The enhanced and robust media, with fibers bound by phenolic resins, provides exceptional separation capabilities for free and emulsified water. No extra membrane to wrap the media is required. Error-free gasketing... This fuel filter comes with a square-cut gasket - not a bevel-cut one - so changeouts are completed quickly and with no confusion over gasket positioning. Fact... The innovative design of this filter is made apparent by its appearance, but the real proof is in the uncompromising fit and performance that it offers.
