Hello again,
I currently have 2 fuel filters on my truck. One is on the fire wall and the other is on the frame rail by the tank.
I have changed my fuel filter in the engine compartment twice in 1 year. The first time it was general maintenance but the 2nd time it was changed due to water contaminant.
My mechanic said the filter on the frame next to the tank was clean and free of any water or contaminants.
The filter is a Ricor model and was installed prior to the 1st fire wall change.
Shouldn't the first filter get most of the crud and water? If this is the case could the mechanic have installed the filter improperly?
I have never had any water in the Ricor filter bowl but I have changed the fire wall filter due to water....this doesn't sound right does it?
Thanks again......
