Well, after chasing down fuel leaks on the m818 for a while now, I came to the last piece of the puzzle. The fuel filter setup definitely had a couple leaks.
I made SURE the washer was flat on top, the big ring was seated properly, etc.
I have all new double wire braided hydraulic hoses for all the fuel lines, and now I put on a new spin on fuel filter.
PLEASE bear with me on the pathetic bracket. It was just a temp setup to see if I had any other leaks in the system before I finish a newer bracket for the setup.
I still have all the stock filter setup, so if I want to go back to stock, it is unmolested.
I am guessing that my stock setup is normal for the m809 series with the Oring base fittings that fit to the filter base.
These worked perfectly with the new filter base I got, so these should work for everyone's setup!
Only thing that needs to be fabbed up will be a new bracket. The lines should fit onto this base, and the filter is MUCH cheaper and easier to replace.
Part numbers.
I got these from the local Cummins NW dealer.
Filter
FS1212
Filter base
142784-S
I paid $14.74 for the filter and $27.15 for the filter base.
So, even after taxes, I paid less for the conversion then for the stock filter!
And filters will be cheap, and easy to find from now on!
