Great Product
Yeah I know the 7.3L loyalists say buy the OEM parts. This filter assembly works just fine. You get a screen plus the filter and new gaskets.
Most Liked Negative Review
Bad fit for 2002 7.3L diesel
My feedback is mostly about the upper (lid) gasket, which was not as wide/thick as the previous one. I initially installed it with the recommended torque, and fuel started streaming out when checking for leaks. I took it off and inspected the o-ring, gasket, and threads. I re-installed it tight enough to stop any leaks...for a little bit. After test driving, and smelling diesel, I was frustrated to see fuel gushing out again. The only solution was to take the upper gasket from the old filter, which worked like a charm immediately. Bad fit for 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT (7.3L 445CI V8 Diesel Turbo), and I won't buy this one again.

Leaked like a sieve. Removed, repositioned gasket, continued leaking. Removed, again, installed new gasket: Continue to leak like a sieve. Removed again, installed old cap and gasket, removed, yet again, and installed old cap and gasket- no leaks. Then spent the next 2 hours cleaning the engine bay, and driveway, from the diesel fuel that leaked all over the place
I would buy it again

7.3 fuel filter cap. The cap is a very well made , an work well with a 1/2 ratchet end to lock the cap down..
7.3L Ford Fuel Filter
Fits perfectly, Easy to install/ change using a 1/2" ratchet and a 6" extension.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
I would not recommend.
had defective gasket. lost about 1/4 tank of fuel before I got stopped. Square plug is over sized, so the 1/2 in drive just spins. Had a hard time removing the filter. This filter is also extremely overpriced, especially given the poor quality.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
