Fuel filter - Hengst vs Ufi

[Z-11]

Local ECP is out of Hengst fuel filter (which i was using exclusively to date), sale person persuades me to go for UFI as reputable brand.
Any experience with UFI?

Take it back and get a mahle, bosch or hengst. I had loads of issues with fuel draining back in the tank as they don't keep tight clearances as the higher quality filters... Fit a new tee valve as well, it will save you loads of grief...

Great, thanks.
Do you change tee valve every time you change fuel filter?

Yes, unless very recent... what do you preffer 30 quid tee valve or new starter and 3-4 hours labour totalling ££££ at a friendly dealer ?
