Yep, the entire setup that I used is off a Gas F 250. I just posted it as the Navi filter since everyone knew it as the Navi filter.

What's the purpose for using the larger filter. Is there any data showing that they flow more fuel or filter to smaller micron's? I change my stock filter every time I change the oil and wonder if there is actually any benefit to doing the switch.

There's no fuel flow advantage in using the larger Navi filter, as fuel flow is limited by the fuel lines. The only advantage to using the larger filter is that it should take longer mileage wise before becoming clogged to where it could hinder fuel flow than the standard size filter.

For those who change their filter often and at a low mileage and believe they always have a fuel station that always supplies "clean" fuel, there should be no advantage to using the larger filter.

But if you're concerned about fuel "cleanliness" even at low mileage intervals, it might be a good idea. Thats why I do it.

Yep I get the same filter for my L as I use on my '99 V10 Superduty. I even bought a SD bracket so it mounts just like Ford intended.

I feel bad now, I only change mine about once a year....:shrug:
