    I looked around on the internet and I think the company is no longer around. It seems to be a "use it until it gets plugged up and replace the whole thing" filter and parts are hard to find.
    eBay had an old listing and it sold for over $200! You may be best off replacing it, like you were thinking. How long have you had the truck?

    I'd take that thing off and just use a normal spin on water separator.

    I had one on 92 Western Star.Drain is useless as it’s always plugged. Plastic bowl prone to breakage. Supposed to loosen top first and drain. Never seemed to work right just stirred up sentiment. It only separates doesnt filter. I’ve been using a fleetguard fs1000 great fuel filter/seperator w/drain which I never use just make sure it’s tight.Look it up the filter has a great flow rate even when almost full of water.

    Thx. Got her done already $76 napa. Although any filter with a one inch hole by 14 threads will spin on the housing. A problem I had been having was enging would start fine and run for about 10 seconds then would die. Crank long enough to reprime and would fire up. Well when I took the lines off the old separator, there was no fuel coming out the supply side. There was a leak on the old one somewhere. Problem is now solved. 20180828_181920.jpg
