I assume you are talking about the big primary fuel filter mounted on the passenger side of the engine? napa has them.

I honestly think you will be better off with getting a spin on filter assembly. The spin on filters are a lot easier to come by, not as messy, and probably filter much better. JMHO

where in the fuel line do you have this installed

On my frame rail, after the FSV and before electric pump.
Mine is a powerstroke, but you can do IDI the same way. I have a second fuel filter after the pump.

I use that model filter because it’s about 5 inches tall, frame rail protects it.
These are a good option:

That lets you delete your factory W/S too, if you want to do so. My RV's W/S was gone when I got it, so I put a Racor head I pulled off a junk yard IDI years ago in the same spot as the factory W/S... which is how I found it on the salvage pickup it was on.
I have it installed after the Holley Red fuel e-pump (mech lift pump deleted) so my system is like this:
[tank]-[e-pump]-[Racor W/S filter]-[stock fuel filter]-[IP]
I need to go put back the pre-filter before the e-pump. I removed it when I was diagnosing fuel pressure related timing issues. It's a cleanable/replaceable element one and it was leaky, so I might put a solid metal one and just replace it once it once a year since I can't see inside. It's too far from the Racor to bother running hoses back and worth, or I'd do that.

I have the same one. There is an even longer filter for it.
I put mine on the bottom corner of the fan shroud. It does not hang too low.

Here's a complete W/S kit for $30... https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-8-NPT-Fu...169473&hash=item361dccbccd:g:WhYAAOSwH4NZfE7E

I had one similar to yours on my truck and one day something shattered the plastic or nylon bowl on it, that’s why I changed to filter style with pet **** for drain.
