What are the best fuel filters to use with the stock fuel filter assembly? Finest particle size filtration?
Finding exact micron numbers for fuel filters can be a real challenge to say the least!
The best I have found is the Donaldson -- P550903 rated at 5 microns @95% efficiency.
It fits the OEM factory filter head and the OEM WIF sensor should fit as well.
Other Fuel Filter Part Numbers for filters that will fit the OEM filter head.
OEM Mounting Thread Size: 16 X1.5 MM
OEM Sensor Port Thread: M12 x 1.5
Gasket dia. 70mm x 63mm
Mopar 52129238AA 10 micron
Wix 33647, NAPA 3647 - L-D Fuel Filter 10 micron
Baldwin BF7970
Fleetguard FS19781
Donaldson -- P550903 (87mm / 3.42” dia. & 183 mm / 7.2” long)
Purolator -- F65782
Hastings -- FF1168
Luberfiner -- LFF6354
The Donaldson *P550588 will also fit the OEM filter head,
but it has a WIF Sensor Port Thread ½ x 20 which requires changing the sensor to the Racor or Parker RK 30964 sensor.
It is rated at: 11 micron @ 99% efficiency
*what I am currently running with the addition of the Donaldson Clear drain bowl P569758
