What do you all think about this unit for a spin on fuel filter???

[parlusk]

I am getting air in my fuel and am looking to do a spin on conversion, but I want to be able to see if there is any water collected in the filter. I was searching the internet and came across this. Fram, cat and napa all make replacement filters for them and they are pretty cheap. What do you all think????

I like it . Do you think you need a fuel heater? I ended up getting the high dollar FM100 unit because you can add options to it, such as a fuel heater. I probably would never need it ,but if I ever sell the truck it would be a benefit I guess.... here's ah pic of mine

I think you need to cough up a manufacturer's name and a model number, and your definition of "pretty cheap", 'cause that looks pretty good!

I would like the info on that filter also. I am needing to change mine to a spin on before it starts getting driven a lot.

I believe the Cat#252-6338 is the part number for actual filter/water separator that screws onto the filter head. I think everyone here is looking for the part number of the filter head.

 

[rsh4364]

Me too.

As soon as mine comes in I will try my best to find a part number. I found mine on Ebay. Here are a list of all the replacement filter is that will help anyone to find a part number to the base NAPA 3166 FRAM C1191A WIX 33166 CAT 252-6338

LOL did you outbid me today?And yes guys it includes the head unit also.Was gonna use as a primary filter before fuel pump as its 10 micron.

 

[parlusk]

Yup...lol I won one on Friday ($8.99 plus shipping)and a buddy of mine said he wanted one... I had already started this thread, so i contacted the guy to see if he would combine shipping and he said yes so I got the one that ended today. I am glad that I had already won mine haha! I understand their no posting auctions rule.

 

[parlusk]

GOOD NEWS. I talked to the guy via email where I got mine and he said he will have 8 more in a week or two and will sell them for $10 each + shipping

 

[cdnm1009]

Is there much work to do to convert this over or are you using this as a secondary filter?

 

[parlusk]

I am using this as a primary. As far as I know it is as simple as removing the old filter housing, unplugging the old sensors, remounting the new filter housing, making two connections, then priming and go.

Gimpyrobb has some nice filter setups for CUCVs.

Haha that's funny,Iwas gonna use as filter in front of my electric pump as I have a wix setup on firewall that's a 3 micron filter,Ill get one eventually .haha small world anymore.Another nice touch is dual inlets and outlets,you can put a fuel press.gauge on both,that way you can monitor pump and filter health.

What is the main advantage to a fuel heater. Is it just for extreme cold temperature?
