Fleetguard Head Fuel Filter Part Review

Large inlet and outlet with more port space for smoother/better flow. Injector Dynamics uses huge filters with correct micron values. SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than most racing brand fuel filter options while still meeting the flow and micron requirements. Five microns with appropriate filter. But big (with filter).
