Is there a conversion kit to make the fuel filter on a 5 ton NHC 250 a spin on? I have searched sseveral times and found the oil filter conversion and references to a fuel filter conversion but no part number or additional information. If its an easy find, and something I should have found in a search I apologize!

there is no spin on that I know of that is comparable to the stock unit. the stock filter is way bigger and changes can be made in the same time as a spin on. I would not change it.

I saw daves spin on setup and it is tiny compared to stock.

I converted our M817 to a spin-on about 10 years ago, after searching for more than a week for a cartridge.

I use the Baldwin BF-1259. They are around $18, including tax. I think the adapter was around $20. I'm sorry I don't have the part number, like I said, it was 10 years ago.

jwaller is right, they are tiny compared to the original. The flow volume is supposed to be the same, but the surface area of the filter is about 1/3. That means flow will be restricted with only 1/3 the contamination. The cartridge should last roughly 3 times as long, so in the end it might be cheaper.

We keep fresh fuel, and I cleaned out the tank myself, so it hasn't been a problem for us.

I hope I don't get bashed here......

I have an 818 and am constantly having to drain off trash at the separator. Is this where the fuel filter is? Inside the cylinder under the driver fender? How do you remove the lower cylinder to access the cartridge? How do you prime the system or do you fill it with diesel before re-installing? Thanks, Cam

at the top is a bolt , this will drop the can, when you put it back together, make sure the little flat peice is setting ALL the way down in the top or it will not seal and suck air

fill it, then tun the the motor over till it compleats priming

I think I got away with asking a question that was asked before. I did a search on the filter thing but nothing came up, then I put the part # in google and one of the results was from SS! Put the filter in the housing and fill with fuel as full as you can, then crank!

when i do the filter on the 819, i fill, then start the motor, thers enough fuel in the system to start, as it is running ,it will start to miss as the air gets to it, most of the time, i can keep it running till the air is worked out, if not a quick restart wours
