deuce without primary fuel filter?

[cranematt]

was wondering if other members out there have or have seen deuces without a primary fuel filter. I have craweld all over my truck and still cant locate one. I am new to this hobby and any info would be appreciated.

Look under the alternator.

 

[cranematt]

I have looked and there is nothing there

I am parting a truck and can provide you with one cheap if you want it.

Should be a round cylinder under the generator. Or read the tech manuals located on this awesome site. tm's are full of all the info you will ever need.

Is your truck multifuel or gas?

 

[cranematt]

Its a mulitfuel. There is no housings, petcocks or anything that resembles a filter. Was just courious if others out there have seen or heard of deuces not having one.

Never seen one without the filter - but then again I've not really checked. Did you look at fuel line routing - was the filter there, and removed / replaced by either a short line or perhaps someone putting in a replacement long section of fuel line?

Where did you get the truck? I can't imagine one coming out of DMRO without the filter, but if a private sale someone could have removed it.

 

[cranematt]

Bought it private sale. The previous owner didnt know how to replace a brake line so i doubt he removed it. The only line on the right side frame rail is a brake line. Was getting dark so i havent followed the line out of the tank yet.

Do you need a pic of a stock primary? It MAY help, but it sounds like you know where to look.

 

[cranematt]

I've seen pics on here. I searched for an hour or so b4 posting.

thanks for the offer.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Well I figured. It looks good. What tires ya got on it?

 

[cranematt]

Michelin 395s. It had 11.00s dueled but wouldnt pass inspection. They stuck out to far and weather cracked.

 

[cranematt]

I have it registered as a 74. Gave carnac the frame number came back as a 53 REO. Recently found out it was an airforce truck (blue paint everywhere) read somewhere that carnac couldnt do airforce trucks so im not real sure.

Sounds like a gasser to me. Install a primary filter. Cheep insurance

2Deuces, what is the part number of the filter base you are showing in that pix? Is it from NAPA?

Thanks

I bet that is Jatonka's spin on adapter for the stock primary.

Just noticed you are local...... I may have a spare primary filter if you need one. I can offer some help as well if you need it.

 

[rockman]

yup, you want a filter as the secondary ones are tougher to change...

I have a spare primary fuel filter assembly for you, pm sent.
