Filters

[gimpyrobb]

So I got side track with the holidays and other projects. I am now ready to filter the heating oil and other fuels I got for a good price. I have one filter that looks like steel wool. It will be first in line to remove any large particles. My question is for the next two filters. I have one large fuel filter and one filter/water seperator. Should I put the regular filter second and the filter/seperator third, or viseversa? After I filter the fuel I will dump in some diesel 911. Also what is the filter # for our filters on the motor?

NAPA....oil 1133, primary fuel 3511, secondary fuel 3512

Keep in mind the seals that come with the NAPA filters won't work for the fuel filters. The seals for where the can meets the base.

fuel filter gasket's(seals) NAPA #5070

 

[westfolk]

Thanks for that one Jed. Couldn't remember the Napa # for those. I have a box of them from Memphis still.

I had just bought some oil and fuel filters from Napa for my first M35 for when I go to pick it up. Are you saying I need Napa #5070 gaskets for the secondary fuel filters.

I think that it what they are saying. I am calling right now as I need two myself for this weekend.

no expert on the filtering but it was me Water filter first just like the truck had. then fuel and the fuel again. If you look on the truck the first filter /water had bottom valve.
Then if any water slid by the sec. filter had drain on bottom and if any slid by that filter the third one had water drain on bottom. After all that don't think there would be much water in system if you found water and keep an eye on all the filters.Let your first water/filter catch trash. then you can dump it everytime before you start up.Just my .02

Yes, To do a filter change using NAPA filters......You need: 2----1133 oil filters, 2----3512 fuel filters(secondary), 1----3511 fuel filter(primary), and 2----5070 seals(gaskets). The ones that come with the fuel filters are not the right size. So you need 2 for the secondary. I can't remember, but I think the gasket/seal that comes with the 3511 filter does work. If you want play it safe and get another 5070, you'll use it sometime.

Well, I got everything setup tonight. I will try for pics tomarrow. Currently I have a gravity feed system, but will use an eletric fuel pump soon. So far so good.

gimpy You must be playing mad scientist or something. Not just working on your truck.

Mad, Yes! I have more spoons in the pot than you can shake a stick at. I got over tonight with some fuel cans! Holy cripes is it slow. I filled up to cans and called it. I came home and dug out a fuel pump right away! Next I pulled the stock seats out of the cab and installed a set of the charter bus seats from the back. The set of three fit in GREAT! I just need to figure how I want to mount to the floor. After that I will be looking for some rolls of canvas to re-cover. I also have a stretcher for the 725 that needs re-covered. I got new tips for the plasma cutter, so its time to try custom rims too. In order for that to happen, I need to clean out the garage! No time for drinking this weekend. (Yeah right) Let me get the camera and I'll load a pic.

Does anyone know what the NAPA gasket number is for the gasket between the oil filter housing at the top and the screw down bolt/tube? I would prefer to get this thru NAPA along with everything else, but I am not picky. After my oil change I still have a bit of leaking from that gasket.

Oddly enough they dont have that one...

Some of the smaller chains carry a line of automotive hardware named "Doreman", as best I remember. My local Parts Plus carries it, the clerk dug around through the drawers and found some that were a near perfect match. The OD was slightly smaller than original but still larger than the bolt head. Cost me somewheres on the $0.25 each price range, worked perfectly.

 

[red devils dude]

or you could buy some gasket paper and make new one's.

 

[houdel]

I kind of doubt gasket paper would hold up to torsional loading as the bolt is secured. We are talking about the hard red fiber gaskets under the bolt head securing the oil filter cannister to the oil filter and cooler body.

I know most tractors use the same set up we can never find them for the older tractors so I make them.

Is there a copper crush washer that might suffice?
