    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    good point there! that's exactly what i did. some duct tape between (and the inside of the firewall is painted carc) maybe putting a light rubber spacer in. i also used paint on the hole edges... but yes, that's always a factor. thought about going in zinc plated, but as everyone knows these two...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    i bought this: Filterhead-Set with Filter ST 302 with 10mm Hose Fitting (Schlauchtüllenset) but i'm considering to move up to ST 354 next filter-change, which should also fit in the gap. Since you need one 10mm Inlet and one smaller 8mm Outlet i ordered a matching Set of 8mm Hose Fittings. (was...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    done. it took some hours, because i fabricated 2 plates to strenghten the area and close of the 2 holes of the old filter bracket (but i'm mounting a foldable cup holder to that spot, later on). one aluminum plate is behind the filter, another stainless plate is on the inside the cab behind the...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    yeah, but i would cut, grind and test fit half a day and still think i have a steel tube in there... improvement is the way to go here... already unmounted the bracket. there's more than 10 inches room in the stock location to mount the filterhead. there may be better locations (although every...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    osteo16, thanks for the pictures! now it's clear, there are different versions. here's mine again. maybe they soon realised, that a inch smaller canister is easier to unmount from the vehicle (but still a pita). option a: build a spacer of exactly one inch. concern is: does it need a correct...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    this information is helpful! i wonder why i'm the first guy to deal with that and writes about it... HPG lists a fuel filter spacer, NSN 5365-01-272-7504, anyone ever seen that? ...besides upgrading to a more convenient filter system, i could just build a 1.5" spacer from an exhaust tube to go...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    can't find it anywhere. part number? picture? meanwhile i thought, if the "bottom" of the casing may be the reason for the scribe mark, because it is a lose item in the tube???

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    according to the TM this "washer" underneath the filter is the rubber o-ring seal (see item no8. also that "washer" would be 1-1.5" thick. but again, i think they screwed this diagram and references up, maybe...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    thank you! a picture of another canister would be very helpful! i have the 2 filters and the rubber seal, and there is nothing more depicted in the TMs (like i said) besides the picture in the TM is wrong in at least 2 spots: it shows a flat seal, which is round in reality. it shows the seal...

    Fuel Filter too short. Part missing?

    I bought the truck last year, still troubleshooting one problem after another. that seller....grrr (but that's another story) this time it's the fuel filter. looked okay from the outside, i thought "yes, these guys at least did the fuel filter" but hell no, there wasn't even a filter IN the...
