❓ FAQ
No. FD-4595 fits the 1994 to 1998 7.3L Powerstroke and is 102 mm tall by 89 mm across. FD-4596 fits the 1999 to 2003 engine with the revised bowl and cap, and it is a different element. The two are not interchangeable.
10 micron, with 98% efficiency on particles 10 micron and larger, and water removal of 96% or better. Those are the figures Ford publishes for the 7.3L element; the case is 300-series stainless steel.
No. This is the element and two O-rings only. The cap is a separate part, F81Z9G270BA, and the factory plastic cap stays in service until it cracks. An aluminium replacement cap is sold separately.
Ford F-250 through F-550 Super Duty from 1999 to 2003, E-350 Super Duty from 1999 to 2003, E-450 and E-550 from 2003, Excursion from 2000 to 2003, and F-650 and F-750 from 2000 to 2003, all with the 7.3L V8 diesel. The same element also serves the Navistar T444E.
The element can only hold water it has already caught. If the bowl is not drained, or if the tank and bulk fuel are contaminated, water returns quickly regardless of the filter. Drain the bowl into a clear container and check whether the layer is fuel-side contamination before blaming the element.
