5 micron fuel filter?
Where can I find a five micron or better drop in filter for the factory canister? It wiil be time for a filter change soon and I keep reading that 7 micron is not good enough.

I've used 7's for 90k and not had any problems. I buy them from Cummins. I think that all Geno's sells also. You'd think if they weren't any good they would stop selling them

Becareful, I've heard you don't want to go to low...as the lower you go the more filter media the pump has to push through..working it harder..

I can't believe the stock filter on these things is so tiny. Regardless of the micron rating for whatever replacement cartridge use, it's just to small, IMHO.
