Mep-002A 003A 004A 005A Drop in Spin on Fuel filter adapter

Last week I mentioned developing an easy to use spin-on fuel filter adapter for use rather than the the WIX 24470 Here is a look at the first production parts off the CNC machine and mounted on my 002A for your viewing pleasure. These adapters drop right in place of the original Fram canister...

Hey guys, sorry I've been away from the forum for a little bit.
New job has me actually working instead of slacking off all day, so less time to catch up on generator stuff.
I am still making both oil and fuel filter adapters. Send over a PM and I'll see if I can help you out.

Do you make adapters for 007B?

 

[Ray70]

Looking at the filter application it appears that the filter on the 007 is the same as the 004 and 005, which my adapter works on.
My adapters will fit the same mounting bolt pattern as the OEM Fram canister base, so you should be all set, but if you want to send me a picture of your housing I can confirm fitment.
The oil filter is completely different than the ones I make for the 002/003, so I have nothing for oil filter adapters for that machine.

OK great thanks

Unfortunately It looks like the 007 is quite a bit different than 002-005 as far as the actual canister mount.

 

[mrichard76]

OK

That should be no issue here. All of these filters and separators are mounted onto steel... which you can easily repurpose with alternate mounting holes or layouts. Just use some remote filter mounting heads, and run some new hoses

Agreed, you application looks much better suited for using the right angle mount adapters that LITD linked to.
Looking at your pictures you may have larger hoses than the 1/4" NPT fittings used on the smaller sets, so either use the appropriate size hose ends, or appropriate threaded bushings, just be careful not to overtighten the fittings. I have heard of more than 1 person who had leaks on those cast aluminum adapters due to cracking the casting around the threaded holes.

There are other styles out there too, depending on the size of what you are dealing with: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3851872442...80840331958309&abcId=9300906&merchantid=51291

OK thank you

The second two pictures in thread #11 look like they are the same as the MEP-004-MEP-006 gen sets. Just the first looks a bit different. But yes, some redesigning would be in order to make the spin on's fit. Dont think it would be a big deal.

Filtration has come so far since this set rolled out, you can probably omit some of the canisters too, and have a BETTER system with less elements.
