I'm pretty sure Ryco do fuel filters too. RYCO
They aren't one of the biggest for no reason. Stick with them if you haven't had any gripes with their other products.
Anywhere trucks are serviced or truck parts suppliers stock them as a rule & thay are generally more expensive than say ryco but not by much.
The thing to be mindful of is the filters ppm (parts per million) ratio the higher the number normally means the better the filter but quality of materials also come into play so no matter what you by stick with a brand name product & buy the filter with the highest ppm available in its range
I hope this helps
Cheers
Paul
