Just checked it out, thank you very much that looks like exactly what I need and a great price even in Canadian Pesos's (lol).
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
This conversion is on my list of things to do, possibly next weekend. I've heard it's a real PITA to get the engine primed once you've made the changeover. What did you do to finally get it primed?Finally got my spin on fuel filter kit on. Priming was a pain but it now works fine. My M923 has a metal line from the tank to the OE filter assy. so I chose to leave it in place and use it to strap the new rubber hose to. Only took about and hour to install.

I'm guessing that you read about it somewhere in a magazine, is that right!?Took her to a "Touch a Truck" event for a local fund raiser. Just a note, if you attend one of these events keep the kids out of the cab as possibly the emergency engine stop will get pulled and not seen by the owner making for a difficult start situation. Don't ask how I know that!
I put compressed air into the fuel tank to help get the fuel to flow. You need to plug the tank vent too.This conversion is on my list of things to do, possibly next weekend.

Isn't that the easiest place to put the air in through? Rubber tipped blow gun to the vent?I put compressed air into the fuel tank to help get the fuel to flow. You need to plug the tank vent too.
Yep....Pull the vent and apply around 5psi with bleeder screw open on the IP and in a minute you will have a bleed system that is ready to go.Isn't that the easiest place to put the air in through? Rubber tipped blow gun to the vent?
Supposedly nothing aftermarket fits (NAPA/Wix, etc....), only the OE filter fits the can, and is not low cost. Some people are buying a smaller OD filter which is available in the aftermarket, and it is believed to flow more air by better exposing the entire surface area of the filter element. Yet to be proven by data, but seat-of-the-pants dyno stories are saying it makes a difference. This smaller OD filter requires a wire "basket" to hold it centered in the canister. Those Military Guys sell the entire kit, or just the wire basket. I can measure this filter dimensions when I get home from work today for you, as I have one not yet installed (but my truck is at a buddy's house for painting, so I can't measure the OE filter for you, sorry, he won't let me at the truck till the paint is done, for wow effect).I want to purchase a couple of extra Air filters for my M923A2, and of course I am out of town when I discover these filters. Would anyone be so kind to post the dimensions of the filter, ie. Inside diameter, outside diameter, an length. its been an expensive week with all the stock piling of lubes and filters and parts. Shes a happy truck
OK, I feel dumb now as I never thought of that.Isn't that the easiest place to put the air in through? Rubber tipped blow gun to the vent?
Where did you get it? Fairly costly or relatively affordable?Finally got my spin on fuel filter kit on. Priming was a pain but it now works fine.
