Fuel Filter Brand Recommendations - 7/19/2008 4:51:01 PM    azblazer89   Posts: 10 Joined: 7/14/2005 Status: offline So I am needing to replace the fuel filter on my blazer, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a brand. I have been looking at ACDelco, but they are quite expensive, especially since I could get a cheap filter from my local auto parts store for about $5. I know for some parts, some brands are definitely better than others. Is there really a big difference in brands when it comes to a fuel filter? Anyone have experience one way or the other? I don''t want to spend more than I have to, but I also don''t want to be cheap. If it''s important, I''d rather spend the money for a quality filter, than have problems with a cheap one. Thanks in advance for your help! _____________________________ 1994 Blazer 4wd 4.3L cpi Post #: 1
