My experience is limited to four deuces only. All others may be completely different, though I doubt it. Each of the four has had a dirty fuel tank. Algae, perhaps rust also as they seem to go hand in hand, in possibly some quantity in the bottom. When I see algae, I see water also. That...

I looked up the filte mags, they sure want a high price for them! Then I looked up the Dahl filters, a good idea also, but with the aging of these filter cans, rust would by pass the Dahl filter set up PRIOR to the primary filter it would seem. The ideal solution might be the Dahl filter...

Yikes, now it is worse than I had thought! But, I wonder if I could not just tape a magnet to the side of a filter can to achieve the rust removal? It would probably not catch all of it, but perhaps a large amount? Perhaps with spin on filters you could do the same, but toss the entire...

The NAPA cost is about $70 compared to the delivered price from jatonka of $120. I rather suspect the cost of getting the base and filter from NAPA, finding the metal to bend, heating the metal, drilling the holes in the metal, drilling the holes in the frame and finally hooking it up would...

I think we are on the same page with the rust particulates. I kind of view rust particulates in diesel fuel as very similar to the addition of aluminum particulates to diesel fuel and fertilizer. Bang! It seems to me the rust particulates could cause a much more intense reaction in the...

I cannot emphasize how easy to install this kit is. Just moments and you are done. I got excited about it, again, when I changed out the second deuce's filters and saw all that rusty crap. I ordered it immediately. Now, and I repeat, if jatonka will just pull the same rabbit out of the hat...

I got my second jatonka spin on filter adapter kit in today. I have not posted pics of the kit before and I do not believe anyone else has, although like so many things, I maybe wrong. However, here are the kit pics. The kit is quite simple, the adapter, the gasket and the filter. Simply...

Checking the ground does not mean just wires. I went nuts for a week trying to get the turn signals to work. I finally removed the light guards, cleaned under the base of the guards, used a 3M green pad, and it took until the last new bolt and washer was installed before they began blinking again.

That is an incredible amount of engineering.:!: Wow:!: With the temp yesterday around 65 the worry about diesel jelling here was minimal.

25 microns as opposed to the NAPA 1458, used on the jatonka spin on kit, rated at 16

It was about 65 degrees here yesterday. I did not notice the diesel jelling in the tank.;-)

My problem is not filter cleaning size, although that is important, but oil pressure and flow. The problem that I see is 1) cooling the turbo, 2) oil pressure at start up, 3) ease of replacement and finally oil filter micrometer filter size. Any thing is better than the stock set up. Amsoil...

I believe you are correct about the pre-lube system adding instant pressure, although the jatonka system does just that. And, I am not certain about a 5 micron filter system being that much more of an improvement. But, I truly doubt we will achieve perfection anyway. I looked at the Amsoil...

You bet. In Texas we do not have sub-zero temps often. The virtually immediate oil pressure seems to me to be really great. I have read the posts involving the possibility of congealed oil at low pressures bypassing the filters. But, on the whole, I think that is a small trade as logic would...

I am looking for a pre-lube system at this time. I am not certain which to choose from, however. I think an electric powered set up would be the easier to use. Have you installed a pre-lube system from a supplier, or did you simply make one? I am a lawyer, not an engineer or electrician...

I have been working on three deuces of late. Two of mine and one of a friend. Each time I changed the oil filters, it was easy. No oil in them at all, other than residue. That bothered me. Each time I changed the fuel filters, it was not so easy. Fooling with the NAPA 5070 gasket problem...

Originally, the primary used the same filter as the secondary. It changed over time. The base for the filter can be lowered on the post and the same filters used on all.

I picked up a deuce in September in Hooks. It is missing the driver side boot shield. You got? I need.

I changed my second deuce's fuel filters last week. I changed a friend's out today. I did not have the bench blaster cabinet available today. Crap! The primary and secondary filter cans had plenty of nice rust to clean up! Both times! I used towels and some green pads to kind of get the...

I finished the filter change routine today on a friend's deuce. I hate the stock oil filters. Both of my deuces have the jatonka spin on adapters. Quicker than the stock to change out. A little more oil comes out with the change, use a paper towel on the base and it virtually eliminates that...
