Yes and No Yes – in that you do not have to read many posts to find the meat and No – because you can start another topic to discuss the procedure and where there is agreement or the original author decides to change/update procedure this can be done via Hal.
What does everyone think about setting up a separate topic such as Dozer Procedures that would include Bob Rooks Brake Adjustment Procedure. I am thinking about a topic where no comments are allowed and only Hal can change.
Tomorrow you should be able to download the newest version of Ubuntu, 11.10. Its free, uses firefox and can dual boot with Windows.
This is probaly the place where I would purchase Racor products.
Bob, Thanks for the information. I like the idea of the Racor disposable clear filter that also removes water but am concerned that it has cellulose filtration, is for gas and is not listed as a product in the Parker/Racor website. Would not want to install a discontinued product and have to go through this again. I see now in the 025 series overview that 025-RAC-05 is an all steel filter and no water seperation
It looks like I need to install a Racor 25 series prefilter which should be good for diesel engines up to 80 HP. Two part numbers have the same specs (025-MBL-02B & 025-RAC-02) i.e. same size, filter 10 microns and have 99% water removal. Both these part numbers use the same replaceable filter element, S2502.
I am looking a two in line primary fuel filters. One is the Moeller Marine filter (033319-10) found at West Marine and Baldwin,s BF7725. Both have a nylon screen of unknown hole size. I am leaning toward the Baldwin filter as the Moeller filter has a glass casing. How would I attach the Baldwin filter to copper tubing? Phil
More info on banjo screens.
Take a deep breath Bob, my name is Phil not Ronald.
The shut off valve for the fuel tank is in the sediment bowl assembly and this assembly must be removed to check/clean the the screen hence the need to drain the fuel tank. What am I missing?
I promised the County that I would not store my fuel in a 55 gal drum so I purchased a 30 gal poly tank from McMaster-Carr and store it in a 55 gal drum for double containment. Every time I get 30 gallons of fuel I add 1oz of biocide and one bottle of Power Service additive that treats up to 40 gallons. What I do not do is add a maintenance dose (1/2oz biocide) but have to admit I did add some after finding the screen plugged.
Have to do another mod.
Larry,
When I say “Windows box” I am talking about a cheap desk top computer i.e. two computers.
My guiding principle today is KISS. In the past I have use System Commander to create two DOS disks, one for online use and one for offline use but later found out that all I had to do was delete one file and both DOS disks could be seen. Today I use a notebook with Ubuntu ( w/o Wine) for online activity and a desktop with Windows that I only go to trusted sites for security. My feeling is that you trust only hardware with Windows, not software. And since you did not ask, I am not a fan of “CLOUD” computing.
Are you telling me I have to drain the fuel tank every time I do a fuel filter change?
I cut the oil pressure gage line to add a VW low pressure switch. Can I cut the fuel line after the sediment bowl and add a primary screen filter that is easy to see/change without having to drain the fuel tank?
