Posted 26/06/12 06:52 AM Share Posted 26/06/12 06:52 AM Ive too gone through that path where my whole fuel system was changed due to one bad batch. Thankfully it was all done by ford under warranty.

Paul Yaw (injector Dynamics himself) has quoted that a 10 micron maximum should be used with their injectors. This is why I went from the 25 stainless to the 6 micron micro-fiberglass. I listen to experts and implement their advice....it's about time some people jumped on this train! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would rather replace it than clean it anyway. Im on my third aftermarket filter due to laziness lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could extend your service interals with the filter set up too right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
