    Best Fuel Filter...?

    So before LSFest im going to be swapping my plugs and the fuel filter...already know what plugs im getting, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a good fuel filter. Im assuming AC Delco or Purolator would be the way to go...?

    Do I need to drain the tank before swapping the filter? Everything I have read mentions nothing about that...

    I used an ACDelco, No you don't have to drain the tank. I will leak some fuel fuel, I usually wear some latex gloves so my hands don't smell like gas all day.

    im assuming thats because the pump isnt running? I was just curious...im going to relieve as much pressure as I can before I pull the filter, but I didnt want to get a 16gallon surprise when I pull filter

    The filter will have some fuel in no matter what. So when you break the line loose some fuel will come out.
