    Default why does the 95 540 have 2 fuel filters?

    i was wondering. Just replaced mine and it look like you could just put one in there just as easily and it would be cheaper to replace them. Has anyone done that?

    more flow to the thirsty v8 engine, one would work but would last half as long

    Yep, done it with no ill effects. Plenty of flow to feed 4 liters.

    Don't some come with one filter as standard? I'm sure mine has just one and I'm sure there are 2 diagrams on realoem, one with one filter and one with two.
