    Separ 2000 Fuel Filter

    Separ started out by making Knockoffs of Racors. On their newer series the filter element is very small and clogs very fast, they claim you can backflush it but they only recommend that on the 30 micron element not the finer ones. Also the housing on their filter elements were zinc plated which...

    Bang in reverse

    Thanks guys I figured it had something to do with the sprag. I do hear the hiss when I shift from reverse to first but no thump. I will start by checking the the valves on top of the tranny and will definitly flush the transfer. How come only in reverse? Again thanks for the input. P.S...

    Mortor Oil to Diesel Ratio???

    On the older (Marine) Detroit Diesels it was safe to burn 25 (diesel) to 1 gal oil. Don't know if your compensator is hooked up or not but that is a safe ratio to start as you don't want to gum up the rings by running to rich. Also remember oil has higher BTU then diesel
