Fuel Filters?????????

[mjstef]

When y'all change them???? I have drained the water 2X and got less than 1/2 teaspoon out of it. Got 56,000 on the original fuel filters. Runs fine but i do carry spares. Had 110,000 on my 2000 with original fuel filter Got the water in fuel light and changed it. I strictly buy my fuel at BIG truckstops with high turnover so maybe that is why i have no issues?? Also about 40% of my fuel goes through my Aux tank in da bed. It has one of those little plastic in-line filters in it. It is original too!!

yeah, I don't trust the stations around here, so more of a preventative maint type thing. I know a few folks that change them every 10k, kinda been a rule of thumb for me.
