Fuel filters

Time to replace my fuel filter, I ordered a new one from motorcraft, which I thought was the higher flow than my stock one, but I got it and its half the size... I got the FG 986B. Which one do you guys use that have a high demand for fuel?

Shoot, there isn't a 5.4L that could eat as much volume that flows threw a stock filter..If that's what your worried about Joey..
