"Fit great and super easy install. Maybe include printed instructions for where the o rings go though and just include the spanner wrench in the kit?"

XDP CAT Fuel Filter Adapter with Filter, Bleeder Screw, and Spacer 01-16 6.6L GM Duramax
Description
The best upgrade you can make to ensure the longevity of your Duramax is to add additional fuel filtration. Its been proven time and again the stock filtration allows excessive material to pass onto the injectors, quite literally destroying them. This complete fuel system upgrade gives you proper filtration with nothing else left to be desired.
The durable anodized filter adapter simply threads on to the OEM Filter Head and allows you run the more efficient and less expensive CAT Filter on your truck. For an even easier filter change, we also include a filter head spacer to give you more clearance for filter changes, along with an aluminum bleeder screw to replace the factory supplied plastic version that is commonly damaged during routine maintenance.

Review highlights
Reviews
"I know it’s straight forward but instructions would have been nice 🫤"
Bleeder screw not cut right
"Bleeder screw threads not fully cut so was unable to use without potentially causing damage to filter housing had to stick with the stock plastic one also would love to see a set screw or two to lock the adapter onto the oem housing as to not have it come off every time you change your filter"
As expected
"Better quality filter. Straight forward adapter. Came with no directions on oring placement but you can find one on the website. My only issue is I had to install and reinstall several times to get it to seal. It leaked between the adapter and filter. Yes, I lubed the orings in diesel. Not sure if I’d buy again"
Adaptor leaks
"Installed on my 2006 GMC, leaks fuel at the adaptor. No response after emailing customer support."
Awesome complete filter and adapter
"Awesome complete filter and adapter set,"
Diesel filter
"Great filter option for the duramax."
Decent adapter
"The adapter, filter, and spacer were pretty nice and easy to install. However, the one that I received has a plastic bleed screw, when this is advertised to have an aluminum one. There were no instructions, however they're not that necessary and installation is straightforward"
Cheap Insurance
"Bought to protect my injectors until I install a lift pump on my LLY. Great instructions and video. Super easy install."
Leaks
"Installed step by step according to directions and wont stop leaking fuel."
Q&A
- Would I not plug in my water-in-fuel sensor while using this?
- correct, the WIF sensor will get disconnected and you can saved or discarded upon installation. Removing the WIF will not trigger a check engine light.
- how does it go on?
- This simply threads on just like the stock fuel filter. -AW
