Gotcha. Thank you sir. I thought I had seen something on your other thread about filtration below 1 micron so that is why I was confused. That clears it up. I appreciate it.

newbie question..what is involved in replacing the fuel filter myself. is it as easy as unscrewing the old and putting on the new one?

for the most part- have to take off the water sensor, etc. but is a piece of cake. there is a write up in the DIY section that explains pretty well.......

This is the latest and greatest high efficiency, long life, "depth coalescing media" fuel filter by Racor. This is the EXACT same filter sold by GM dealerships (pn# 12633243) but at a fraction of the cost. The PFF50216 has been tested to OEM standards for life, efficiency, water removal, and is now standard and backward compatible on all GM Duramax engine applications. The Racor PFF50216 coalescing filter system inside has up to twice the life and improved water removal in all blends and types of diesel fuel when compared to other paper media filters.
