You can install a bigger filter.

Use a Motorcraft – FG800A (larger than stock, use hose clamp to secure it to stock bracket after you bend the bracket a bit)

Might want to get the locks for the fittings also.

NAPA - FILNCK11 – qty. 10 fuel filter clips

Just wait until you have to replace the filter. There is no direct replacement for that filter, it has to be modified. I tried to get another one from Travis but he kept asking for a pic of the filter to see which one it was...

I did my own research and found out what vehicle it was for and modified it myself.

It's just a plain old filter with tubes stuck on each end. What vehicle is it for?

Changing it out threw 2 codes I had to clear with my Xcal.

IIRC the last filter I bought (for the OE lines) was a 3" for an '05 E250 or F250. Start there, that should be close. Other than that, just flare the ends a tad. Certainly not a big deal.

Or upgrade your line like I did with -8 and have your choice of many different styles and locations. Plus most filters then are cleanable.
