Title: Fuel filter
Post by: Steve Cas on May 31, 2016, 01:19:27 PM
This filter looks pretty clean compared to the intake screen. My son's Jackal sat for a year outside under a tarp while he was on active duty. I changed the fuel filter and pump. The tank looks OK. I need to change a couple of hoses before I try to start it.

Nice surgery on that filter cannister.

I wonder why they put that big hex on the end if it's not designed to be taken apart ?

Check the little drain hole underneath the recessed fill cap, they have a nasty habit of plugging off and sending
rain/wash water into the tank, a sod to fix.

The filters very clean, the one on my EV was so plugged up the fuel was unable to get to the injectors, it would run for a while then just bog down I back flushed it at the KOA in Denver
then again when I got back to BC, the photos show the BC flush, I bet there was 5 times as much came out the first time.

This is all caused by the moat drain plugging off to sent water into the tank.

I'll take the question seriously -- it's to put a wrench on to hold the can while you unscrew the fittings.
