Triton, sorry but no. The Dixon part did not fit the wix/napa filter. I am convinced that wix has used some hokey china pipe thread that only works with the POS plastic plug they put in the filter. All those fittings I bought (threw all the filter out) sit in a dusty and dirty sealed plastic...

Yes, pjwest, that is what I found also. They are sending me one to try, just have to work out the o-ring details. I'm also going to use a brass fuel shut off instead of the petcock style drain originally in the unit. Will get pics of the setup when it's done. Thanks!

You are correct, I typo'd that. It is 1/8 nps. Thanks for correcting that!

It should fit Wix and Napa filters. All the other brands seem to have some type of left hand coarse thread thumbwheel that cannot be removed. I have not yet tried the Dixon fitting. By looking at it, it should work with an o-ring. I will order some soon and submit them to some testing before...

Hey, nice work. I searched all over the net and could not find it. Thanks again!!!

Thanks eaton, good to know. I did check fleabay, but I still don't always trust what is on e-bay. I am still going to pursue the adapter. I can buy Wix separators for 11 dollars at any local parts store.

I thought of that, but bsp seals on the threads. I suppose it might work with enough thread tape, but it's not correct.

Thanks, Guy! For a few moments, I though I might have to buck up the 120 dollars for a stocker. NPS thread seals on an o-ring, not on the threads like npt, so the adapter we make will have to have that machined surface on it. If you think folks might have an interest in this, I may consider...

Well, after buying every brand out there: wix, napa, hastings, Baldwin, fleetguard etc etc, I still could not figure out how to adapt the drain to accept the military style that was stock on these units(that allows the fuel to drain outside the unit). Wix seemed to be the closest, but drain...
