C7 fuel filter thing, frustrating

[CAT Lover]

Just so you guys know, the water serperator isn't a CAT made product. That's an add on option though Freightliner. CAT doesn't make a filter for it. However, in my experiance when i was in a bind stuck on the side of the road once I was able to spin on a regular cat fuel filter to replace the water seperator filter. It was an exact match thread wise.

Now keep in mind I don't know what an RV setup looks like, but it really doesn't matter if you use the open end filter or a regular fuel filter. I too have had a hard time finding that filter. Freightliner doesn't always carry it. The truck stop I use to PM my truck does carry it.

Also, keep in mind that you don't have to limit yourself to use Freightliner for CAT engine parts & filters. Kenworth & Petrbilt used cat motors as well, You can find a dealer & just need the vin # & you are good to go.

Directly into the filter or fuel tank?
