This is just a thought, suggestion. If you have the filter # (part #)or can get it, go to the WIX Filter internet site & there is a place where you can type in the number & it will pull up cross reference to a Wix #. Usually, or many times, gives all specs for that filter, micron size, thread/pitch size if threaded, flow rate rating, other filters that will work in it's place,etc.
I've found several hard to find filters this way. With another brand part # I can usually find something that will work at some dealer, part house, or somewhere.
When I look for fuel filters I usually try to find out what the original micron rating is supposed to be for my application, then get one with at least that size or smaller micron size.
Maybe this helps.Side note. You may not have the room, or not be able to reroute, but recently I changed some of my equiptment & pickups over to some Cummings old style semi truck fuel filters. Bought new filter spin-on heads & a case of these filters from local International semi place. Same filters I used to use years ago on Cummings, & still plentiful.... cheaper too!! Don't have the filter # right now, but can get ittomorrow.
Couple of my '90 7.3 using these $25-45 &up factory filters & 12 micron rating....these Cummings filters are 10 micron & $4plus.
And there are about 4 different filters that will screw on this new head.
And looking thru their book, there are many different cheap/pleantiful heads & filters available.
Maybe this thought will help, or help someone.
