I did a search for this and didnt find anything. I have a 93 F-350 IDI non-turbo. I want to change the the existing fuel filter from the flow thru with the bottom cap to a one piece filter. wondering if anyone has done this and has any info. Thanks in advance.

Wix and others have the ones with the drain spigot on the bottom of the filter...... WIX 33617 or a Baldwin BF 1222-SP they have one that you can put the WIF sender in too and still use it.

WIX 33617 (NAPA 3617) is a 1-piece filter with a drain and sensor port. I switched mine over and it's great, no more leaks.

Henry, The 33617 is what I use. Make sure you have the sensor that screws into the bottom of the filter from the old one.When you go to put the sensor on the new filter , be sure to pull the plastic/rubber like plug out of the new filter 1st. Keep a mental note to do this everytime you change.I changed mine last month and I was puzzled at how there were no threads to put the sensor on till I remembered to take the plug out...duh.
