OK, so everyone has thier favorite brand of oil filters, what about fuel filters?
Any reason to use a certain brand, or avoid one.....................
I went to Autozone to see what kind they had and they carry some off the wall brand , Deuaush or something crazy like that. I think I'll pass on that.

Use a Motorcraft fuel filter everytime lol.
Changing your fuel filter is a good way to maintain your cars power.
I change mine every six months.
Some good advice is don't shop at Autozone those people are morons lol.

Same here, I am getting a lot of it at WalMart and AutoZone for good prices

One thing I do not have is a Motorcraft air filter, I have a K&N. However, it is over a year old and dirty. Instead of cleaning it I am just switching back to paper. Paper does not deposit oil on the MAF and filters a LOT more dirt than cotton mesh

Not to hijack....but mine has 48,000 miles on it and has the original fuel filter. Is that too long to wait? I heared that it should be changed every 40K

That's why I use a stock air filter, no oil on my MAF.

Supposed to change it at 30,000. Your car is probably ruined like Super said, I'm sorry for your loss .

Hotmustang, just replace it, these guys are full of it . You just don't want to let it get clogged so you run out of fuel when you're doing a 6200rpm run down the track. Something tells me that would, indeed, be the end of your stang haha
