Hey guys, I was gonna change the fuel filter on my '90 sig truck that has a '95 PSD in it and I found an issue. The filter that is in it is a Wix and it seems like the plastic cap is part of the filter. The replacement I got doesnt have the cap on it, just the cartridge by itself. Does the cap come off the filter or do I need another filter with the cap attatched??

I dont know much about psd however there are certain brands of filters where the cap is part of the filter.

Chris, this was one of wix's grand ideas, offer a fuel filter that the cap is part of the filter. Fine idea until you buy another filter that is like the original using the separate oem cap that was discarded.

Even ebay has listing for the caps or the cap filter combos. I prefer the seperate setups myself. No need to replace whats not needed.
