Fuel filter for a system with a return line? What filters are people using for a system with a full return line. IE a truck motor. I picked up a late model silverado filter to match my motor (2002 5.3), but it has some weird fittings on both ends. Id rather not have to switch out the fuel rail to go return less, and Im hoping I can find a filter with normal, or specifically inverted flare fittings on it.

Correction: I used a 35 micron after the pump: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-230106ERL/
and supposedly you should use a 100micron before the pump.

I use a 05 up Mustang GT filter in line before my pump and I connected it to the hardlines with standard compression fittings. Only downside is needing a new ferule when the filter is changed...but those are very cheap.
Made for a quick, easy, no hassle setup.

I used a filter for a 98 chevy pickup.
Looks like this. Its got them wierdo fittings, but NAPA has the Dorman repair kits to screw into the filter. Then use compression fittings on them hard lines.
