Fuel Filter - Simple See Thru or Reusable 2 Years ago
What are folks using for a fuel filter? Looking for something I can pick up at Autozone or Oreilly's. I searched all over Tech and the Forum but could not find a clear answer. Thanks.

The OEM filter is a plastic see thru and Advanced Auto parts has one similar to it. Clifford

My local O'reilly's carries the Russell that I am using and it is cleanable or the element inside can be replaced. I am running pumpless and it flows just fine.

Mine is neither see-through, nor reusable. I just perused the rack at Autozone for a small one that would fit... and it was under $5.
