Are you talking about the fuel ones ? If so I just made my own. I posted the whole thing here. The oil ones are made by a few people. Go to eBay and look it up.

where did you post it???
You can get the spin on bases from Napa or cheap on ebay and just make your own mount system.

I built the very best fuel filter set-up for my Deuce and had zero problems.
That truck has the cleanest fuel tank there ever was. One of a kind.
I changed (renewed) all those fuel filters one time and never again. Lube oil filters too.
Turned out less expensive, like I am Mr. Frugal over here.
I thank all the SS people that helped me.
I am going back in the shed now to find even more stuff to give away..................

On my second fuel filter change, I noticed this . Did I just get lucky the first time? Or is something out of wack?

I was up till 1:00 screwing around with all this. Setting the smoke cam, thanking the fuel filter cans apart. I’m happy to say I understand what’s going on in there now. And can deal with it accordingly. One had a rusty stuck and collapsed spring. I will swap it from the other engine.

For the first filter, it should be a "water/filter" unit with a10 micron filter. There are several companies that makes a good diesel fuel filter unit. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

Do you still offer the secondary fuel filters for the multifuel engine? I have been trying to install the Napa o-ring gaskets and they are too small. They pop off when I try to put them in the slot in the housing.

Did you buy separate o-rings at NAPA or are you using the ones that came with the filters?

The O-rings are wrongs sometimes so one should just take it all apart to find double or triple O-rings in there making it impossible to do simple job.
Workin upside down backwards inside out is not good to try to resolve problems.
Wont hurt, a couple of mildly torqued bolts. Be One with your truck......
So just take it off and study and fix it.

I used the o-rings that came with the NAPA filters, the thinner ones. I stretched them and installed them before they shrank back down. I also used the washer gaskets that came with the filters for the top bolts. The bolt o-rings were trashed. The washers crush down into the o-ring groove. I hope they work when I start the truck up.

Turned on the fuel pump, and the NAPA o-ring gaskets leak a bunch. Is there a replacement gasket that I can buy somewhere?

As with what frank said, take the assembly off and install gaskets where you can see them. I use the napa gaskets and have not ever had an issue. Something is just not on correctly.

The o-rings that came with the NAPA filters did not work for me. I purchased separate o-rings from NAPA (part numbers 5070 and 5131) as indicated in the Deuce parts quick reference spreadsheet. If you haven't seen that spreadsheet, you can check it out here:

Thank you for the o-ring information and the spreadsheet. I had been looking for that spreadsheet but had not found it.

I have put the information many times. Why not just change All the Deuce multifuel filters once and then never have to change any of them again.
It is a piece of cake, not difficult, not expensive.
Your choice, from 1 to 30 micron filters that won't let you down, installed in an area that is really easy to change.
