    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    Well I’m almost ashamed to admit this . But I had a shop do it . They weren’t to far away and were a very good price . My tank had a lot of rust in the bottom so much so the drain was plugged. What they did they put the tank in a acid tank bath that heats it up and let it set all weekend. Then...

    Mep-003a fuel filter help.

    Yeah my army filters did a good job of keeping the rust and scale from getting to the pump and injectors. I’ve thought about using a marine grade fuel filter like racor, one with a clear blow on it so you can see if there’s anything in it. Then drain them . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That’s cool sounds like a nice set up, sounds like I was lucky to have all my fuel filter canisters intact . I even had that bazaar fuel strainer in the first filter that’s so hard to come buy. I’ve found a fuel filter mount off eBay that has two spots for a filter/water separator. What’s nice...

    Yeah I will probably have to do that. only issue is, how to mount the spin_on filter base to the generator. I'll look into that. doing some research on line, looks like this filter also works with a Phantom F-40NAircraft, Tomcat F-44FCargo and a Diesel Submarine! so If I can find any of...
