I wanted to do a spin on filter mod and I decided I'd get the Stanadyne FM100 fitted with the W.I.F sensor and the heater. I ordered it from The Diesel Store and when it arrived, I found the pictured unit in the box. Evidently this is the "Top Load" style unit and, while I like the way everything is integrated, I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to mount it. I'm sure I'll need to make a custom bracket so I wanted to check the site to see if anyone has any experience with this type of setup. I dont think the performance will be any different, and the filter change process should be pretty simple too, though I'm a little nervous about the price and availability of the stand alone filter elements. O.K. I just checked and it looks like I can get the inserts for $16 or less. This setup also looks like bleeding air and draining water will be pretty easy since the fuel inlet is on the bottom and the threaded vent is on the top. If anyone has any experience/suggestions regarding mounting, using, or even keeping this setup, I'm all ears. If you have any pictures of this on your truck, I'd love to see them. I'll be eyeballing the placement this weekend and trying to mock up a basic mounting bracket, once I start fabrication, I'll post some pics.
Kind Regards,
