I need to research this...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
And that was that.
Everybody has the most wonderful, easy to change, best fuel filters on their truck now.
Everybody put in spin on filters that don't need to be changed anymore due to installation
of the "at the tank outlet" 3 micron filters.
I expect these engines to run another 50 years.[/QUOTE
Believe I asked before but as long as your getting the correct head pressure then your system works great. If I remember stock primary fuel filter was a 10 micron. If I remember some old ones looked more like just cleanable filter and wonder if they were even a higher number it was more of water trap / large particle filter to protect booster. If I remember stock in tank TM said if we had 4 to 7 psi it was with in specs. You and others replaced that with the parker and getting 10 or more psi. One would think that is going to help the booster pump from cavating. Not that is a bad place to put you 2 micron filter but wonder if it does put more of a strain on the booster to have to pull the fuel rather than push it through a tight filter.
since converting down to 8 micron on my primary and 2 micron on my secondary I have not seen any issue, I still get the right amount of PSI and starting up is actually easier.And that was that.
