2pbfeet, that's my thinking too about those two gaskets, I have a green viton o-ring that I am using and it seems to work fine, I'll give it some run time and check it to see if it's holding up to the fuel. I checked the website for everything truck parts and they have the gasket set for $ 4.77...
I had my fuel gauge stuck on empty as well, I removed the gauge and check the connections those were good, I loosened the nuts on the gauge and tapped it in my hand and came unstuck off empty. I replaced the fuel sender with a Wema 8.5" and that length is just right, i believe if it was any...
Just a little follow up, I can not find those fuel filter gaskets anywhere (Wix 15398 gasket kit) , the parts house don't cross reference them and nobody can order them. I would like to change my reused one on the filter that I have but I guess that will have to wait till the next filter...
Uniquify, that is exactly what I needed, thanks for the info! I purchased the dash 202 washers for the bottom of the fuel bowl and it seals well, so if anybody needs some I have plenty (came in a pack of 100). I'll get these ordered, I operate off of 2 is 1 and 1 is none.
Getting ready to plumb a 8135 pump and I need to know the size of both ends a the G-17 filter to connect it to the pump. I don't do this type of plumbing with NPT, Jic, and NPSF fittings often so I have a learning curve. Also will teflon tape be good for diesel fuel?
Thanks
The thick wide inner gasket/washer between the filter and the housing is the one I need, it didn't come with the the Wix filter I used. I've been looking for the thick washer but no luck, I may have to pull the used one out of my housing to measure it to see what I can come up with. It looks...
It seemed like it was a flat washer but I'll get some of those Dash o-rings for the next filter change. For the filter bowl I checked for a manufacturer stamp but couldn't find one so now I'm stuck on that bushing.
Does anybody have a source for the canister fuel filter gaskets? Changed the canister gasket and the Wix filter only came with the top outer bowl gasket, I reused the gasket for the top of the filter. Also is there a gasket for the bottom of the fuel bowl where the bolt goes through.
Follow up on the Wema fuel sender, I put in the 8.5 version and put a plastic spacer on the bottom of the sender, after I got it in I don't think it needed it maybe it's needed for an 802. My Beede fuel gauge was pegged all the way over to passed empty and stuck so I took it out and loosened the...
Hurricane Beryl was a wind event so the power lines were hit with downed trees, Harvey was a flooding event, when we had the freeze or power generation is set up for hot weather so that freeze kicked our ass.
I have a 250 gallon above ground tank that I use for tractors and mowers.
I am going to clean out my fuel tank because the tube with the screen filter is rusted. I want to replace the fuel sender with the Wema style sender, I thought I saw a thread on the part number to do this but I can only find the info fro an 802. If anyone has done this do you have the part...
Just did 4 days with power outage from the hurricane and my 803 did perfect, best thing I ever did was installing an EasyStart on my A/C unit, it brought the starting amps for the A/C down to 26 amps.
The 803 used about 3/4 gallon an hour I ran everything including the well, I didn't use the...
Ok, so checked the TM and there was a really good picture of how it goes back together, there is not enough thread to put a locking bolt on the back so I guess I'll use some lock-tite so it doesn't back out!
