For those of us with the new style fuel filter head

I have been having problems with my fuel filter leaking after about 3k miles. It always seems to leak on the bottom where the metal bowl with the drain valve and the water senor is. I started looking at other filters to see if someone has made a filter that does away with the metal bowl on the bottom.

I found that baldwin filters makes one the part number for the 93 7.3 turbo is BF1222-SP here is a link to the filter on baldwin's site

go to filter1.com and buy the 3316 filter I think it is the one for our model trucks for $16.Wixx

33617 with port, 33417 without port - I think exekiel - Napa uses 4 digits, Wix uses 5, same filter otherwise but the Napa one is like $35

Anyway, as he said, it eliminates the fuel bowl. Have one on mine. You can get them with or without the water in fuel sensor port. I use the one with - I believe they are listed in the parts number sticky post as well, either way.

I'd like to have the drain petcock option on my 6.9 trucks. Happen to know a part # for one that would fit them?

Don't think we located one. It is a smaller thread than the 7.3 (7/8X14) and I am sure there is one out there, I just don't think anyone researched it so much.

I use the BF1222-SP on my truck. I'm trying to get the same in a Fleetguard as Baldwin stuff is not my 1st choice. Car-Quest sells a filter that will cross up to the BF1222-SP - has the drain **** and "water in fuel" sensor as well.

here is what i use.... it has the drain on the bottom.

H2ODRX are you running two fuel filters in series?

Baldwin is still around?
We used to buy only their stuff until we couldnt find a place to get them anymore. Best filters ever!

Yes
The big one takes the place of the stock water separator and the the stock filter.

Baldwin eh....Around here they don't have a great rep - last choice if we are out of Fleetguard stuff - there is only one place that carries them around here too....Cummins owns Fleetguard and they are super **** about filtration so make very good filters. I get stuff at cost at work so it costs me about $28cdn to do a service on my IDI with 10L of Rotella-T bulk oil and a Fleetguard oil filter. I change my fuel filter ever 2nd service as they are expensive ($22 for the Baldwin fuel filter) and I only put like 3000-4000km on the IDI every 3 months.

Yeah Baldwin is one of the major players here fo filters we run 5 International 4700 DTE trucks and one Frieghtliner with a Cummins and one Kenworth with a CAT motor in them and we use Baldwins they are good filters we have millions of miles ran through them

Baldwin is a big supplier to the railroad industry also. Too bad Clark doesn't make any filters like these, as they manufacture right in Lancaster PA.
