Look into the cat filter conversion kit for the cummins engines.

Yeah you can get threaded male to barbed male for ease of the fuel line fitment. The question though is the mechanical fuel pump adequate enough to run it through one of those filters without a lift pump....

Hey Gimp - what do your kits consist of?

The header and 6 filters. I'll PM you, not trying to make this into a classified thread.
What about using the following. Looks like you can install a pressure sensor on top even though its not really needed.

Not sure what thread size is on the factory one for the fuel lines.

If you go through the trouble of putting on a spin on filter setup, why wouldn’t you move it to a place that makes it easier to get to? That’s just slightly less difficult than the factory setup.

Well, if you read about the travails of the MEP-series genset owners who have done everything short of disassembling their units to remove the fuel/water separator, you might think thrice about putting one in your Humvee.
I got lucky. I only needed to use a TEKTON filter wrench, which still mangled the filter a lot.
For the time/trouble/infrequent change of filter advised, I decided to stick with the stock/OEM HMMWV unit myself.
On my gensets, I've installed a WIX 50 micron diesel PREfilter (3972 Napa Gold Fuel Filter/33972 WIX) as the pumps SUCK from the tank through that filter, not PUMP under pressure as with the downstream ones (there are two), very unlikely to develop any leaking from tank to pump through this filter.
If you're that concerned about stuff getting into your filter/water separator, that might be a way to go, placing one between the tank and the lift pump on the block.
Of course, YMMV, one per customer, there's one born every minute, this way to the egress, you pays your money you takes your chances.

The pressure transducer on the top of the filter/separator is only used by the STE/ICE test sets.

Skip the STE/ICE sender (as nothing to do with operations) and slap something useful on like a real gauge. Now you can check on those pesky fuel issues, anywhere. Mine runs 6-7 PSI with typical flutter of the pumping action. $14 dollars for good info when thing are going wrong out on the trail.
Got fuel, let's GOoooo, CAMO
Standard fuel filter. simple elbow, small 14 dollars 0-16 PSI, oil filled gauge @ the Epay.
Pop the hood and take a peek. What's wrong here?? Engine off. No guessing.
Running engine and check.
NOTE: Small gauge to the left behind wiring harness. Guess what? Real OIL PRESSURE to be sure.
NO BS Engine info. In the bulls-eye !!
What else could go wrong? Don't answer that, CAMO

Where exactly is the Oil pressure gauge hooked up?

Tee off the factory oil pressure sender. Fab up a simple bracket off the block to hold guage, Then route a short piece of tubing to mechanical gauge. Simple. The gauges I used are oil filled about $17 each. I didn't want them in the cab. The thought
was to double check during maintenance hood UP. I trust MY military ones. YMMV, CAMO

Left rear and top of engine block, between the oil pump drive and the #7 intake runner.
If it is a turbo motor it will have a stainless steel hose attached to the block with the sending unit on the end of the hose.

Fuel filter water separator ...........
Anyone ever used this one?
I drained the fuel filter yesterday and this is what came out......
might have to drop, clean or replace fuel tank?

Sure looks like a "Drop and Drain" for your tank might be a good way to start. Be sure to check out the rubber hoses too while you are at it...
