M35A2 fuel neck strainer

[RollingThunder19]

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my experience with the fuel neck on my deuce and help anyone if they have had the same issue. I have owned my deuce for about 5 years now and would clean the strainer regularly. Last month I added some fuel and wanted to clean it but noticed the filtering material was no longer there. After cleaning the tank I began my search for a possible aftermarket solution. After a few searches online I came across a company called Wisco Products after calling them and speaking to a representative and explaing my situation and dimensions I needed he did some searching and referred me to a company that they distribute to called MegaCorpInc. After speaking to a representative they showed me a product that was a stainless steel mesh strainer that is able to drop into the top of the fill neck so you don't need to pull the entire neck out to clean (with a minor modification to the neck by removing the tab for the fuel cap chain). The new strainer is close if not better at filtering than OEM design and should last the lifetime of the truck. Hopefully this helps anyone out if they are in the same situation.

Good job !
Now you just need to link us to this new filter so we all can buy one.
Actually I need two for my dual tanks.

I'll see if I can come up with a link. I know when I searched their website with the part number the item didn't show. So I just called and they were able to pull it up on their end.

I’m coming up blank with the info you posted as well. Any chance you could post some dimension’s, and price? I did stumble across a few other possibilities in my futile search that I need to look further into.
