Mine is leaking and I have read of people deleting the filter head when using a airdog (wich I have). Should I do it? Pros? Cons?
LB7: Deleting stock filter head when running airdog?

Around the primer definitely and the bleed screw maybe. I have the dmaxstore rebuild kit, just trying to decide whether to do it or not.
A filter is cheaper than injectors, that is my main concern but if its doing nothing but leaking and restricting flow I'm gonna remove it.
I don't know where you live, but for "some" reason, there were a lot of guys up here in the northeast this year that had gelling problems with there filter. Part of it had to be our fuel, because I never gell and had two gum up on me (stock filter). But when I was at the shop, he said there was a rash of just the air dog filter gumming up. I know they were talking to air dog about it, but don't believe anything came of it.
FWIW - I intend to delete mine when I install the trips and an Air Dog. Hoping for the best!
One guy I know had his air dog gel, despite using the proper treatments and it burned up the motor.

Im glad i saw this post we had a horrible time this year with the truck gelling up it left us stranded a few time's even with additives.I had figured it was the airdog filter that was the issue until i talked to a friend who delivers fuel for our local sunoco and he said they were having a ton of problems with gelling with there diesel fuel.Switched stations and never had another issue even being colder than it was when it was gelling.I don't know where you live, but for "some" reason, there were a lot of guys up here in the northeast this year that had gelling problems with there filter.

I've used the same station for 6 yrs without issue until this year. Even though I switched stations it still did. Oh well, season is "hopefully" over around here!! :spit: Can you say jinx! lol
And now you have some bad injectors, so does my friend who deleted his, coincidence? Probably imo.... I'm gonna delete it anyway.
