Good afternoon everyone,

My truck is set up with a 10" fuel/water separator under the bed and has the standard one piece fuel/water separator under the hood. Is there a standard fuel filter that would work under the hood? I am just looking for a cheaper option to the napa gold $50 a piece filters.

Search "fuel bowl delete."

I don't have the fuel bowl, I have the "one piece fuel/water separator" Its currently a Baldwin 1222SP. I don't really see the need for two water separating filter units. So my question was is there a standard fuel filter (that is not marketed as a fuel/water separator) that will fit the housing?

the filter for the 6.9 is only a filter. Gotta swap the housing and filter.

Take in a old one, see if they can match it up.

Unless someone comes up with something I will take the specs for the baldwin to my local fleet supply and have them find something. I was just hopping someone was already running something so I would know it works.

Google the wix cross reference tool, tons of options for the factory filter head.

Whats the micron rating on your 10" filter? Just because it's big doesn't mean it's good. It will last longer because the filter has more surface area, but micron rating is what you need to look at.
That said what's wrong with two water separators? The cleaner and purer the fuel is the longer your injection pump and injectors will last.
I use P551055 Donaldson filters. They are 4 micron. Napa and Wix are 14. The P551055 Donaldson filters are around $25
If you keep the two filters the second filter will only need to be changed once for every three or 4 main filters, it's not that big of a deal.
