Fuel filter subs

[cranetruck]

Just a heads up on this subject, the original secondary and final fuel filters for the multifuel engine (1161029 are rated 5 microns. The WIX/NAPA 3512 is only 10 microns.....
Considering the possibility of rust particles in a 40 year old fuel tank and metal to metal seals in the IP and FDC, I'd be concerned....

Bjorn, there have been posts about other filters that ARE 5micron. I don't know the #s off hand or I would post them for you. A search might bring them up.

 

[cranetruck]

Okay thanks, I use a NAPA 3512 as secondary and a final filter element from Memphis, but don't know the brand, probably closer to mil spec.

"NAPA 3626 as my final filter 2 micron"

 

[kipman]

Gimp, is the 3626 a spin on?

 

[cranetruck]

Yeah, it's a spin-on.

Called Memphis and they now supply the Wix/Napa 3512 also...

 

[gimpyrobb]

Dang it, its here somewhere. There is a cartridge filter that goes in the secondarys that is 5 micron. I wish my search karma was better.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Bjorn, can you PM an email addy? I have a spread sheet from Baldwin filters that will not copy and paste for some reason.

 

[cranetruck]

Thanks, got the info.
The FF906 is only 3-5/8 inches tall and will not work. Can't find any spec on the FF973, which is the Hastings equivalent to the NAPA 3512 other then what you were told by the Baldwin rep (it wasn't listed on the page you sent me).

Another potential problem with the NAPA filter is that the center hole is larger than the 11610298 OEM filter, it is not a snug fit. The sloppy fit makes it more difficult to install too.

The Purolator/Facet number is 053161-04, which fits perfectly and is 5 micron nominal.

To hi-jack a little, I have a stone type filter on my dropside truck. What is the correct way to clean those once "clogged"? I was thinking of spraying brake cleaner and using pressurized air, but wanted to ask before I dammaged the media.

The Napa filter that is better is a #3540. That may be the one you are looking for.
my Spin on secondary and final adaptors filter at 6 microns. The Baldwin sopin on that fits my adaptors is probably better than 6 micron. JT out

How about running a 3336 as secondary and 3626 as final on your adaptors? That is what I plan on running. I will carry a spare if it blocks up. I had my calipers out and it should fit fine. Here are the specs.

Hey guys new to the sceen here. Have inheritated a 1970 2.5 Kaiser . Only has appox.35000 miles and it's all orginal. Would like to do some maintance on it but really don't know where to start. Have grease it and checked it over but want to change oil and filter and fuel filter. Have saw people talking and adapting spin on filters for fuel and everybody seems to have differant filter. Where can I get the spin on adaptors. and is Rotella 15-40 good oil for it?

In the classifieds JT has them, I have his primary fuel adaptor and will be doing the oil soon.

So does the secondary fuel adaptor only do sec? And the pri and final will be OEM still?

 

[DieselBob]

The above "secondary" does the secondary and final.

This does the primary.

Besides being easier to replace with the spin on, is there any advantages to the other than OEM style filters?
