Where to find fuel filters for Multi Fuel M35a2

[cessnapilot89]

Sorry for a dumb question, but where is the best place to get the fuel filters and gaskets for an AM general m35a2 with the white multi fuel engine?

Doing my first oil and filter change today and want to get the fuel filters swapped soon

Here is the Spreadsheet for locally purchased oil (and other) filters

Deuce Parts Quick Reference Spreadsheet

Ok guys, here is a spreadsheet I have worked up just to assist people on locating some parts on short notice via local stores as well as some others. If you have any parts you want to add send me a PM with the part number and who supplies it. This is just a test sheet for now. I am still...

Thank you! Doesn't look like too complicated of a job

I checked the older threads. Got all the filters at NAPA.

Thanks guys. Second stupid question, what is inside the filter housing on the right frame rail and is a single housing? And where would I find a replacement for that filter ?

Primary Fuel Filter with Correct Gasket

If you buy the filter at Napa it will not come with the correct gasket. You need the WIX 5131 gasket.

The housing is the first ( primary ) fuel filter. The filter is shorter than the housing so it can be used as a water separator. There is a spring inside to position the filter properly.
All the NAPA filters ( that i purchased ) came with multiple size gaskets. Take your time, I had a hell of a time getting the gaskets and housing to seat properly so they will not dribble / leak.
The fuel filters are all run in series, so I set up for increasingly smaller filtration.
From Napa I used:

Primary: Wix 3511- 10 Microns- Water Separation
Secondary: Wix 3512- 10 Microns
Final: Wix 33540- 6 Microns

Cheers

Well I can attest that the Carquest filters do not have the correct size seal.

I being stupid and wanting to keep my promise to my son, attempted to reuse the original gasket and I leak like the Exxon Valdez.

I retract my comment about getting away with reusing the existing one, lol...

Are either of the Napa 5070 or Wix 5131 even available any more for the secondary filters?

When you go to change that primary fuel filter/water separator and everything disintegrates, get this filter boss and a filter like this one and be done with that old thing, the original fuel lines hook right up to this boss

Car Quest found a gasket that should supersede the Napa 5070 part. Should be here tomorrow. Just finished draining the housings so that I can bring them in to check the seal against the housing. Also fit a section of clear tubing that fits the petcock nicely so.i can drain directly into a 5 gallon bucket.

Well the car quest gasket fit the primary which is wonderful but not the 2 secondary filters. Thankfully Big Miles Motor Pool gaskets arrived last night and my deuce is on the road

So the Car Quest part number for the secondary filters is 90070
