fuel filter diameter

[joshua180422]

I am trying to buy a 12 volt fuel filter warmer for my deuce. I am home on leave and not around my truck so I can not measure it. Can any one tell me the diameter of the stock fuel filter canister? Thanks for any help. Also I did search plenty and did not find anything,

For which housing? there are 3 of them. 1 primary and 2 secondary filter housings.

Unless you have alot of water in your fuel, you should not need to heat them. The fuel heats as the truck runs(from recirculation).

Drain your filter housings and it water should not be a problem, ever,

I am looking to put one on the final filter. I want one to help with cold starts because I use a mixture of fuels.

I don't think it will help.

I cut my alternate fuel usage in the cold months. A50/50 mix should work well, even well below freezing.

That is fine does anyone know the diameter anyways?

I just bought the Primary 3511 and Secondary 3512 from NAPA, they measure exactly 2 7/8" at the widest part.

He needs the canister OD, not the filter diameter.

Uhhgghh yeah I pay attention to detail sure..

It's definitely larger than 2 7/8".. ha ha.. sorry I just went by the post headline.. what do I know.. it took me an manual to find out where the master cylinder was..

That does give me some idea. It should be under 4 inches I hope.
