I believe BlueBird only installed the 900FG filter system on FCs.

I think the 'nope' depends on how you read the sentence. Did Jeff
mean that BB only installed 900's on FC's and not on any other
coaches, or did he mean that they only installed 900's on FC's and
not any other model of filter on FC's?

Welcome to the middle of the movie.

To clarify, it was to say that the 900FG was the only model Racor
that BB installed on the FCs.
