The factory water separator is said to be useless. I have never had an issue myself. I just installed the Nicktane this fall. You are able to add a better quality water separator if you're worried about it.:thumb:

If I ran the nicktane I would run the Donaldson filter.

I ran that way... With just 2m fuel filter. No water step filter.. Then I got water in the tank and almost ruined a set of injectors

But if the factory separator is as useless as people say then the end result would be the same.

SoCalMike- why a Donaldson?

Donaldson has a water separator. P553203*will fit the nicktane

Good to know. :thumb:

Actually the factory ac delco and racor filters are very good at separating water..... A lot of people never find water in there fuel but there is still a chance and I rather have a separator just in case...

That's what I run. Cost 16.00 locally. Don't get me wrong. Cat filters are damn good but with the crappy Midwest weather we have I personally think a water separators a must.

Yeah, I will probably go with the Donaldson filter next. It's cheaper also.

Same idea but sinister diesel adapter. And long 2micron filter. Water step is back by the tank

I haven't ran an OEM fuel filter in so long can't remember. I do know OEM won't close the filter if it gets full of water.. The bf1259 I run does and I have had it happen.

Both the bf1259 and bf7587 run the sane 1-14 thread that nicktane uses

Yup...just sawthere was 3 pages!:thumb:...so the baldwin is a better fuel filter than delco?

 

[mattv]

So, to go off on a tangent...is the Nicktane really that much better than stock? Is it really worth it? Besides the better filters, is the flow rate noticeable?

 

[SoCalMike]

I got rid of mine and went back to stock

Your Nicktane adapter?

 

[SoCalMike]
