Fuel filter adapter
Several months I tracked down an adapter that will allow spin-on
filtersto be used on my Perkins 4-236. I believe that it came from an outfit in WA. I have misplaced the info on it. Anyone know of this item? Thanks! Doug s/v Callista |

Fuel filter adapter
Dear Doug,
I have 2 brand new sets of these that I bought for my Perkins T6.3544M's. They will not fit on mine, but I would be happy to send you the pictures and specs for them so you can see if they will work on yours. Pete Zimmer MV Jack Daniels 37 Silverton .

Fuel filter adapter
I put one on my 236 when I changed engines last year - ie the side
water tubes were off when I installed it - not a problem to install. Well, the thing to watch out for is that there is very little clearance once the tubes are on - you can't get much of a strap type wrench on the spinoff filter to get it off. I'd say it actually easier to change the old filter with the 3 o-rings and removable bottom. It might be easier to catch the diesel in the filter - but just might be - not proven to me yet. Overall I've spent $50 on things that were worse investments - but this is not a high ranker on my list anymore now that I've used it. "Doug Dotson" wrote in message ...

Your's must be set up differently than mine. Access to the
fuel filter is pretty clear. Can I convince you to tell me where you bought the adapter? Doug s/v Callista "santacruz" wrote in message ...

Fuel filter adapter
All the 4-236's I've seen have the same filter on the block - but
maybe your's is different. The filter is directly above the starter and between the block/head and the water tubes. Anyhow, I bought it from North Harbor Diesel in Anacortes, WA - http://www.northharbordiesel.com/ On Fri, 7 May 2004 22:52:46 -0400, "Doug Dotson" wrote: Your's must be set up differently than mine.

Fuel filter adapter
Ah! That's the company I was in contact with before. Thanks!
My setup is similar to yours, but the tubes don't really get in the way to the point where I can;t get a filter wrench on the filter. My real worrt is clearance above the starter motor to drop the filter down whe changing. I don;t have the Lucas starter, but the adapter with a Delco (I think).
