A: The stock location causes messy spills during changes, and the plastic housing often cracks. Relocating it to the frame rail makes changes clean, fast, and replaces plastic with metal durability. Q: Is this a direct "plug and play" install? A: This is an advanced installation. Please Note: Installation requires cutting the factory injector return line extension hose to fit the new plumbing. While straightforward for a mechanic, it is not a simple bolt-on without modification. Q: Does this affect fuel flow or pressure? A: No. The kit is designed to maintain or improve upon factory flow rates, ensuring your CP4 pump and injectors receive the fuel volume they need. Q: Which replacement filters do I use? A: The kit uses standard spin-on filters which are widely available at auto parts stores, often cheaper and easier to find than the proprietary OEM plastic cartridges. Q: Can I use this if I have already upgraded my lower fuel filter? A: Yes! This kit is designed to be compatible with factory lower filters or aftermarket upgrades (specifically compatible with FS23-00109BR-000-L). ---tab Shipping Returns--- Fast Shipping Policy Your order will be dispatched within 1-2 business days , and the package will arrive within your order's estimated date.
