Where to buy fuel filters

[zr2yz125]

I looked in the TM for the NSN for a fuel filter. There is no NSN but it shows, " ELEMENT ASSEMBLY PART OF KIT P/N 256476, 11664669 " I'm coming up short googling for those P/N's. I see where midwest military has some, but none of the part numbers match up. None of the operators manuals have filter part numbers, only fluid type/capacity.

I thought NSNs were the best way to look things up on the internet. I searched on here and could not find much about FF part numbers.

military only item not available aftermarket. Try a HMMWV dealer such as kascar, mac motors etc..

Probably listed as an assy as there is a green water seperator core in the cartridge filter. Best to replace both while you have it open.

Maybe mine, which is a M998 is different, but I just did this job a few weeks ago and this worked perfectly for me.

HUMVEE HMMWV FUEL WATER SEPARATOR FILTER + MAIN FUEL FILTER

There is a youTube on the procedure, but it is easier if you drain at the pet cock, then just remove the three bolts on the top only, and you can move the top aside enough without removing any of the hoses. Replace the two elements, and o-ring and bolt it back up. Apply a good amount of suction with a miti-vac or similar to get the fuel from the tank up into the canister, and it will start after bucking like a SOB.

That is the critter in the ad and that vendor sells military surplus. I think the hmmwv dealer prices are less.

Ya, I checked.. MacMotors has the fuel filters. Just set the right vehicle, serial number range, fuel, then filters

WARNING... rant/pet peeve to follow...... If you haven't already opened up the fuel filter attention should be paid to any slim/algae/Diesel snot/microbes growing on the outside of the filter. If anything ugly is present a good cleaning of the fuel system is in order...... tank, lines, check valves, filter housing EVERYTHING. The green tube in the middle is a coalescer that removes water and drops it to the bottom of the filter housing. If it is not damaged it can be rinsed and reused. Change the filter and buy an extra. 5589161 filter ...5741059 water separator. Cleaning the fuel system is a nice way to spend your time while you wait on the paperwork! Enjoy your new toy!!!

Thanks everyone! I was not aware of mac motors or kascar. I've added both sites to my list of sources.

Good call on checking the filter for algae and slime.

Lots of places sell parts.. but if you want authentic parts, those are the only two places I trust (for new parts).

Speaking of fuel filters, today i replaced the filter on my new to me M1097. Easy enough but i notice the filter cartridge sits loosely in the housing, meaning when the top is reinstalled with its o-ring and water separator, you can give the assembly a little shake and feel/hear the filter cartridge bumping around in it. Shouldn’t the cartridge be held firmly so fuel doesn’t just bypass the filter?

Any aftermarket fuel water separator and fuel filter mods? Think like cat filters or marine filters.

Sure, only limited by your imagination..
