Reviews

Excellent upgrade, should include washers

"The fuel filter upgrade is well made and much better than stock. My only disappointment was that the kit did not include banjo washers, which resulted in a small fuel leak. The washers were not available locally and I had to order online, which cost me a great deal of time."

Fuel filter canister replacement

"The part bolted right in and the fuel lines easily connected too. The only downside was the water sensor wire would not plug right into the plug that plugged into the old filter canister. It looked like it should, but wouldn't. Other than that it works great! Thanks!"

Jonathan G. (5/5)

Decent

"I really like the housing and filter. Easy install. Only problem is the connector for the water in fuel sensor is very cheap. The pins inside it bent when trying to plug in, and broke. Had to buy another from the parts store that was more sturdy."

Update to a review

"I originally reviewed this product as 5 stars however I have discovered that the water fuel sensor may have problems handling higher pressures. I have had the original supplied with the kit and a second sensor fail and start leaking. I believe it is due to the fact I'm running a Power Driven Diesel Hot Rod Lift Pump and AFC Live fuel system. I've had to replace the original FS1253 filter with a WIX 33391 filter that has a manual valve to drain fuel and water, thus bypassing and eliminating the WIS sensor, but allowing the higher pressure. So far so good. First failure left me stranded in Kansas for 13 hours until I could find a resolution."

Q&A

Does it have provisions for the fuel heater port
No this kit does not include a fuel heater, this kit replaces the filter head and includes the FS1253 filter and a WIF (water-in-fuel) sensor.
Will a CAT fuel filter for on this?
CAT does not make any filter that crosses from the Fleetguard filter. -Mark
I recently bought one of your fuel filters for my 99 5.9. My problem has been when cold starting it only runs on idle. When I give it throttle it just revs up. After it runs for 20-30 minutes it runs fine. I replaced my air intake heater also my heater relay solenoid. Any ideas
What other modifications have been done to the truck? Have you verified what your lift pump pressure is from your lift pump? -Sands
