I understand that the AC Delco is supposed to have a larger inlet and outlet than the Fram or other filters. I have not had a chance to check this out. Just passing it on.

I just use the "whatever" no problems so far.....I'm sure they are all made at the same place/factory anyway.

I always go with the wix filters. I know we are talking fuel filters and I haver the wix fuel filter on my car but I had a fram oil filter collapse on me but never a wix. Wix is sold at any part store.

delco and wix are fine choices.
avoid fuel filters made in china.
there quality is questionable, and there was
a recall on many of the chinese filters a couple
of years ago, because some were rupturing at
the roll seams. some resulted in fires....
