Fuel canister set-up

[sermis]

New to the Duce. I was replacing fluids and filters. On the primary fuel filter the washer is cone up. in one of the secondary filters the cone is down and in the 3rd. it is missing completly. Which way should the washer under the filter be facing? For lack of better word, bowl up or down?

You can download 9-2320-361-20, M35A2 Unit Maintenance from the Technical manuals section. It has detailed instructions with illustrations so you can get it right.

Paragraph 3-28 covers the primary filter, parts as installed from the bottom up are : washer, spring, washer, gasket, cup (cone up), filter element.

Paragraph 3-29 covers the secondary/final filters, parts as installed from the bottom up are : spring, washer, gasket, cup (cone down), cotter pin, filter element.

Attached are pics of the parts as assembled. Although the cotter pin on the secondary/final appears in the illustration to be installed below the spring, it is actually installed above the cup to hold the parts in place. Hope this helps.

Here are full page pictures of the fuel filter installation and instructions. You might have to copy the images to your hard drive as JPG files and then open the copies in Photo Editor to enlarge them enough to read them easily.

Thanks, that is what I needed. Now to find a cone washer for the secondary and I am in business.

Here it is one more time, I did 1/2 of each page at a time to make them more easily readable. Here is the secondary-final filter info, it won't let me add any more images to this reply so I will do the primary filter in another reply.

Here is the primary fuel filter info, 1/2 page at a time.

While I have spent quite a while posting this info, it has been a very worthwhile learning experience for me, figuring out how to get PDF images into a legible JPG format to post in this forum!
