    There are now hundreds of filter options for the 6.7L - but unfortunately (Quality) is far & few! ---> Injectors & Fuel Pumps are NOT Cheap!

    Still, I'm trying to find (ACTUAL) white paper data showing the Fleetguard / Mopar front filter is a 3 micron @ 99% Absolute.

    Sorry - Not Gullible enough to believe - Print on the side of the box!
    @SyN Do you have specs on these filters?

    I looked on the Champion Labs/Luber-Finer website and was unable to locate specs.

    It looks like they have a plant in my town, Shelby Township.

    Honestly I have NO White Paper Data on the (Champion Labs) Luber-Finer fuel filters.

    I called & talked to (Greg) a Rep - a couple years ago.
    Take this with a grain of Salt - but after talking with him for about 15 min - I accepted his info he was sharing - Note --> Very Few Filter companies will even share.
    TRUTHFUL filter filtering info @ 99% Absolute! - They might share the Nominal - but very few will give their 99% Absolute.

    Donaldson is the Gem in the group - They are not afraid to share @ 99% Absolute Value. (Not 92% or 94% or 97% but 99%)

    Greg told me the L6806FXL was a 5 Micron @ 99% absolute media.
    The Rear Water Separator - LFF5106 was a 20-25 micron @ 99% absolute media.

    My Additional (Spin-On) Donaldson Blue DBF5814 is a True Actual 4 Micron @ 99% absolute Media.

    Without going to a FASS or Air Dog Filters - I don't know if you can find a TRUE/ACTUAL 2-3 Micron @ 99% Absolute fuel filter = With actual white paper data (proving it)!

    I'm not familiar enough to comment on CAT fuel filters - but I know the New Fuel Filter testing methods are proving them not to be as advertised.

    I'm a fan of the Fleetguard/Mopar Filters - but not the way overinflated pricing!
    I do know the Champion Labs - produces many fuel filters & oil filters for other Major Name Brand Companies.

    I know many might not care to add additional filters or system to their fuel system - but go out of their way to bad mouth those who do!
    Those Opinions or Thoughts are NO Concern of Mine!
