Fuel filter housings.

[Jamin6.5]

I have a question about the differences in the the filter housing on the trucks nd the vans. which is better or are they the same? The one on the vans looks bigger and it has bigger inlet and outlets. would it be good upgrade for the 6.5 in the truck?

I have never seen one out of a van. Got any pictures?

Here are the pictures of the filter off of a 2001 chevy van

I would say that is nothing like what the trucks use.

Thanks for the pictures! :thumbsup:

looks like 3/8 in and out. Wonder if the wif sensor and and heater plugs are same?

the last pic, the housing looks like a spin on. this is what is used on some of them:

Just dump the stock stuff and go with a Racor, mount it where you want to and take the old one out

That link posted above came up as a air filter for

So I was wondering if this would work too. It would save me having to drill out my current filter for the feed the beast upgrade. also the spin i like better. easier to get rid of the water. this was on a 2001 chevy 6.5 express van. I looks like their is only the wif sensor. no fuel heater. this was mounted on the trans/transfer mount. next to the lift pump.

Yes, that would work. Especially since you already have it.

Those are heavy beefy filter. It should be usable.

Looks very close to my Wix filter set up. 1/4" in/outlets. The van would be a good filter to use.
All of the wix parts will interchange.
