New style (spin on) Raycor (diesel) fuel filters
That's right... just like an oil filter change. Be sure to get the special
wrench to remove the bowl from the old cartridge. You can do it with a couple of oil filter wrenches, but you'll bust a lot of knuckles and cuss a lot. The thing you have to think about is the cost. The spin-on elements are a lot more expensive than the cartridges. I have a Racor 900 as my first filter, but replaced that dual cartridge filter setup on the Lehman with a spin-on Racor. Since I use 2 micron in both, the final filter shouldn't have to be changed nearly as much, and I just HATED changing out those dual cartridges. I could NEVER get them on without leaking for at least two tries. -- Keith __ You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.

My old Raycor with its replaceable element has failed. What I see now in the catalogs are units with spin on filters. With the old style, when you removed the old filter, the fuel stayed in the bowl. Put in a new filter, top up, and close it. The old filter had almost no fuel in it, and it took almost nothing to top up. How do the new units work? I'm imagining a procedure similar to an oil filter replacement, except that after I remove the old, I have to fill the new one with fuel. -- |
