Ok thank you, I had a feeling the big Tonka trucks might have been a factor, anyhow it's a catchy handle. I'm definitely a convert to the spin on crowd and looking forward to adding the secondaries and oil spin on kits in the near future. First I have to buy some windshields though, and a...
Well at least you know your good on the final end with the big cat, and I'm at least stopping whatever the wix will catch first.
Maybe I should have got the secondary kit first, but it was considerably more expensive.
It sounds like I put them together completely opposite of what you are describing but all of the parts were under the filters when I took them off. There wasn't enough room to turn the brass bowl upside down so the thin rim would bite into the cork on the secondaries. There was enough room on...
Ok, thanks for clarifying that, I wasn't sure if the spin on adapters only take one kind of filter. Do you happen to have the 6 micron NAPA part number? Thanks.
Wow, that sounds great. I assume you have the Jatonka adapters? It never occurred to me you could use different filters, but it does make more sense, I noticed today the base is marked secondary and final. Why couldn't you just use the 2 micron for both secondary and final though?
I'm starting to get really aggravated at this secondary filter setup. Now the little rubber washer got wedged between the center bolt and the steel washer in the canister and tore. Where am I supposed to be able to find one of those? With this crazy setup it's amazing these trucks are even still...
So I was able to install the primary filter while I'm waiting for the spin on to get here.
However, somebody is going to have to explain how to get the 3512 NAPA filters closed up inside the secondary canisters, they seem too long and I can't start the nut at the top. Will they definitely...
I'm sending the payment for a spin on primary tommorow, I have very little confidence in the original setup after opening it and will change out the secondary filters asap.One reason is because it looks like fuel can easily go between the center bolt and the filter housing, plus there was crud...
I've always thought they were a rather expensive luxury item, but after experiencing the original setup will definitely be adding them later. I might have to add them now if I can't get this thing back together.
How could they promote me to Sergeant when I can't even change a fuel filter?
Definitely not Popeye, I'm closer to Olive Oyl. I just took a look in the tank and it doesn't look anything like inside the filters. I can see an old gasket on the bottom of the tank and it's spotty looking on the bottom.
Right now I'm trying to get the primary back on, it has a tremendous...
I realize now I should have used a flashlight to look in the tank when it was empty, but I was in a hurry and working on it down in the yard, so I didn't. However I did stick a yard stick down in the tank a few times to see how high the fuel was and it came out clean, so maybe it's ok?
Plus...
I doubt it, but how common is it? What is it? I pulled the primary filter off because I couldn't get anything to come out of the drain,even after sticking something in it. It had about a 1/2 or more of this stuff. Thanks.
