EFI fuel filter

I'm preparing to plumb my Bronco for in tank EFI this weekend. What are you guys using for a fuel filter in these systems? I see that BC Broncos has one for sale, but I would rather find something that I could pick up locally at NAPA. I'm looking for a 3/8 threaded filter preferably with inverted flare fittings, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I'm thinking to run 3/8 & 5/16 Poly Armour lines connected to FI tubing on both ends. I have the older style NWP 23 gallon EFI tank for intank pump so it doesn't have the AN connections. I would love to use braided stainless with AN fittings but it is a bit more money that I want to spend right now.

Some pictures and part numbers would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance!

I was running the rubber fuel lines and just used a standard Ford EFI fuel filter. The hose slipped over the nipple and clamped in place. Same filter was used on everything in the early EFI days, from the little escort to the 460 big block. Need an application? '87 BroncoII

Never did threaded fitting on an EFI fuel filter.

I run standard 3/8"s flared line on my efi setups. I run a metal napa# 23481 fuel filter. I do add an o-ring to each end of the filter. I've run this setup for 5 years now with no issues whatsoever.

I was going to say most likely that GF481 OR 23481 GM FILTER IS ABOUT THE easiest one to find . And you could plumb it in easily.

I used a G483 filter that has a hose barb on the inlet side and 3/8" double flare on the outlet. Since I have rubber hose going from the tank to the filter, the hose barb worked well. After the filter, I went 3/8" hard line.

I think the application is mid 80's S10 truck which from what I could tell is EFI.
