geno's fuel filters and cummins fuel filters

[pwr2tow]

I just received my new fuel filters from geno's and they look different from the cummins filters. The ones from geno's have bigger holes in the top and three large holes on the inside, which fleetguard has small slits around the top and small slits on the inside. The ones from geno's look like they will flow alot better than the fleetguard filter. the only thing is the fleetguard looks like it will last longer because it has more pleats than the geno's filter.

When I change filters I will let everyone know if I get better after filter pressures which should indicate better flow, this is after filter pressures not before filter.

Just a thought, could some of the lift pump problems be due to restricted fuel flow caused by the little slits in the cummins fleetguard fuel filter causeing stress on the lift pump and premature failure? How about the same senerio useing number 2 fuel in sub freezeing temperatures? I can imagine the restriction of heavy fuel trying to be squeezed through them little slits.

The only down side I see to these geno fuel filters are they will get dirty faster due to there are not as many pleats in them as compared to the cummins fleetguard fuel filters.
