Not all diesel fuel filters are created equal—and choosing the wrong one could affect your truck's performance, reliability, and even the life of your fuel system.
On this episode of The Diesel Podcast, we sit down with S&S Diesel Motorsport Chief Engineer Ian McGiffen to discuss what separates a quality fuel filter from the rest. We cover filter media, micron ratings, filtration efficiency, common marketing claims, and why two filters that look nearly identical can perform very differently.
We also dive into a common failure point on the 6.7L Power Stroke: the factory plastic fuel filter housing. Learn why it can crack, create fuel leaks, cause drivability issues, and why many owners are upgrading to a more durable solution.
