    Primary filter. Mines BIGGER than yours.

    It looks a little like the one I have in the 8x8, a Racor 1000FG. Love the "from the top filter element replacement" design. It's also a water separator and uses treated filter elements that repel water. The micron rating is 20 at the moment. For the testing I have done so far, it works good and...

    Help broken ip

    The screw can be replaced after you get the FDC removed. Just did one here on my desk.... If you want it, it's yours for $25.00 (a little high, but I have to sacrifice a potentially good fdc). PM me if interested.

    Alternative Fuel Question

    Compared to diesel prices, kerosene is hardly worth it and it's usually dyed to prevent use in vehicles (non-taxed). I have a source for clear kerosene here and use some mixed with veggie oil, can also be used with diesel to prevent "waxing" in the Winter. Water in WVO will separate out if you...
