paper filter breaks down and clogs carb., May 21, 2009
This review is from: FRAM G3802A In-Line Fuel Filter (Misc.)
Mine failed. I found the carb was clogged with fiber residue. On cutting the filter can open, I found the paper filter element was coming apart and was no longer a filter. In fact, this filter needs a filter after it.
Fram no longer makes filters. They just make Fram decals to put on filters made by the lowest bid factories.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Chinese, June 15, 2008
This review is from: FRAM G3802A In-Line Fuel Filter (Misc.)
I bought a new FRAM G3802A in-line gasoline filter last year to replace a 12-year-old OEM gas filter on a 1996 Mercury Sable. The OEM filter was still working, but way past due for replacement, with 120,000+ miles on it.
Well, the Fram gas filter only lasted 10 months and self-destructed, or collapsed inside of the metal filter casing blocking the flow of fuel.
Since I have been buying Fram filters for years with good results, I was very puzzled.
Checking further, and it is now stated as such on the boxes that the new Fram filters come in, I found that they are now manufactured IN China.
That explains the collapse.
