My fuel filter is any 3/8th or smaller in/out in line filter off of just
about any GM or Ford vehicle made after 1986 (ie. throttle body
injection to present day MPI). My fuel system was not made by DC.

In my world, kooky make-believe challenges like going through freakin
mexico take a back seat to reliability, fuel economy, power, off-chamber
functioning, ability to adapt to major changes in altitudes etc.

In other words things that matter and are usefull every day are more
important to me than far fetched hypothetical BS

Lucky you.
How many times have you changed your fuel filter, once every twenty
five thousand miles, as the book calls for? Your filter is hidden under
a shield along the frame rail. That is any fuel filter that will hold a
hundred pounds pressure.
This hypothetical BS is real if you live in San Diego.

My fuel filter is 10 inches from my TBI

Even if I lived in SD I would consider it BS, as the only way this Jeep
is seeing the Baja would be if it were stolen by someone with extremely
poor judgment :)

Now stop with the hypothetical BS Bill
