Yes Bjorn, it looked like common pipe fittings though I didn't check right then. Looks like one could use the same type of petcock drain that is on the bottom of the cannisters and would have a little more control over where it spews out and catch the fuel instead of having it spray all over the...
Does anyone have a bleeder screw for the top of the secondary fuel filter housing they would like to part with? The hex head and stem broke of the main part today when I obviously overtightened it after changing fuel filters today :(
Thanks,

RE: Fuel filter differences
Thanks ACE, thought so but didn't want to get in there and not have a replacement on hand. Had a few hiccups driving around Sunday so time to change the filters and possibly a tank flush!
Fuel filter differences
While on the subject of fuel filters, here is a ?.
Shown below are two pics of primary fuel filters with the same NSN. Note that the inner raised ring with the eight 1/4 inch holes is recessed on one and raised on the other. Will they both work, and if not, which is...

Paul, post up what is or is not happening. I don't know a lot, but mine works so maybe I can help. Do you know about the local and remote setting in the MT-1029 mount. Radio only one way, with VIC-1 the other I believe. Simple changeover. PM for link if you want instructions. Also, I would be...
SouthernM715, electricity is electricity, it follows the same circuitry rules on your vehicle whether 12 or 24 volt. You just need to be sure you get 24 volt parts, bulbs etc. Put 12 volt parts in and they will fry with sparks, smoke and the like :shock: Get the wiring diagram and a good meter...
Thanks guys, I was aware that OD Iron had them, but was just curious if I could possibly run into town and pick one up.
Vinny, can't seem to get the pic from the TM to here, but it is on page 9-9 of TM-9-2320-361-20, item # 22.
Thanks, BC
Thanks Paul,
There is a power company sub station about 200 yds from where we were and I have since been told that it raises havoc with HF in the area. I really need to set up a better test. But, at least I know it works :D
