But the Wix is the only one with the anti-drainback valve IIRC; preventing dry start up.

If you're thinking of replacing with a cheap fram filter, do yourself a favor and just bypass the thing. If their fuel filters are anything like their oil filters, they're pure junk.
You're talking about saving $25 on a $25,000 motor... it's not worth it. |

I just cut open a Fram HP-4 racing filter. Looked like a well made filter to me. I will save this HP-4 and cut open a Wix and compare them. Doug

I cut the merc filter to inspect & the glue on the pleated seams had came apart , so it would have been getting to some extent unfilterd fuel . the pleats were not even overlapped they were butted together & glued
Sorry about my comment on the micron sizing , I was mislead ... |

Read up on micron sizing ! you are 100% wrong .. :lolhit: the way i gather it is the filter will trap down to a 4 size micron spec of dirt,with that being said fram will trap a 10 micton piece of dirt..4 is smaller then 10 so i would have to say wrong... read and look at the chart.. http://www.tpub.com/content/fc/14104/css/14104_153.htm Explain to us about micron sizing. http://www.filtercouncil.org/techdata/tsbs/89-5R3.pdf Hey drgn rydr......Thanks for schooling me. Am I still 100% wrong. Just trying to help and you jump on my sh#t. :lolhit: Besides...............I'm not the one talking about using a POS Fram filter in the first place:party-smiley-004: |
