IN-LINE FUEL FILTERS for generators

[mharpool]

Howdy,
I have searched the forums and could not find a discussion on this; so I have a quick question. Do I have to replace my fuel filter with the OEM for my ONAN 5500 MARQUIS GOLD, or can I use a simple generic in-line fuel filter?? Thank you for helping.

Why do you want to go to a different filter? While I have a larger Onan, I've stayed with the original filter changing it every couple of years.

If you're going to eliminate the original OEM filter you should be okay with the generic in-line filter.
If you leave the original filter in place, I would install a new one and change the in-line filter on a regular basis.
On my Onan 5000 I changed the original fuel filter on a regular basis. I never had any filter problems.
