just to throw a spanner in the works use a genuine fuel filter as if you use cheap it wont be the correct microns like a ford one

fully is thinner

semi is a little thicker


is their not a quicko near you ?

you could use either to be honest on that year off van

you can use both semi or fully upto 2006 on transits (ford told me that ) and newer transits only fully synthetic
