I was considering a twist on fuel filter. There are a lot of these "fuel filters" available and many have water separation. Generally this is for diesel fuel but when reading the filter data most of them just say fuel and don't specify diesel or gas. Is there really any difference? Can a "diesel" fuel filter work with the gas/ethanol blends sold at gas stations?
Thanks,
JP

Emery,
It can be frustrating trying to get technical info when you can't order by year, make and model. Good point about the ethanol/water absorption. I bought a NAPA 4770 filter adapter to use the extra ports for a fuel temp sensor. They couldn't answer the fuel compatibility question and finally wrote me up as a "problem incident". Finding the right filter that fits on the adapter and in the allotted space has been tougher than I thought.
Thanks for your help,
JP
