    There is really no practical reason to upgrade the FS1280 unless you are having issues with some of the additives out there that will create “a jelly like stuff” in the tanks that can go thru filters with micron rating greater than 4-5 Mic.. I’ve seen it twice now and I am trying to put 2+2 together..

    If you wanted to go to the FF5488 (Last chance common rail engine filter used on the “Q” engines), you have to change filter heads..
