Title: Racor rk 12963 repl kit-integrated Upgrade
Post by: jelfert on February 07, 2020, 10:28:09 pm
I purchased the Racor rk 12963 fuel housing upgrade and It has two wires for the water sensor plug. Original filter sensor has only one wire and plug. Where do the two new wires go?

Are the Racor s3032p filters obsolete?i can't find any.  Is there another compatible filter?

Your numbers are backwards. S3230P filter is available and will be used after the retrofit.  I am working on my retro fit now and have the same question on what do I do with the 2 leads when I only need 1.

Isn't one a ground?

That is my assumption but I would like a more definitive answer. They both look the same too, would it matter which is grounded?

Time to break out the ohm meter.

Lead to lead?

One lead to ground?

The other lead to ground?

I heard back from Racor, one wire needs to go to ground and it does not matter which.

I took mine to a frame bolt near by. System is up and running again!

Once upon a time, in a different world, my partner Lynn went to make an addition to a machine I had built.
He came to me and asked, "What is this?"
I answered "It's an 8 level counter implemented with virtual relays."
Lynn came back and said "You couldn't figure out how to make the data shift register work, could you?"  "I erased all of your work and replaced it with one line."
I had to ask, "How did you figure it out?"
Lynn: "I called and asked."

Congratulations.  At the end of the day all that matters is "Does it work?"
