Fuel Filter upgrade

August 24, 2013, 11:07:44 am

 After an unpleasant experience with dead engine batteries I decided to add the remote battery terminals found on the newer coaches and while I was at it replace the RK12963 fuel filter assembly with a Racor 700 series. Both were easily done by FOT and were fairly inexpensive.  A small plate was added as you can see in the second photo to provide adequate clearance but other than that it was pretty much a direct replacement.

Yes, a very common upgrade to a problematic design.

Oh yes, the origional system was a problem for the folks that refused to pay attention to it, never changing filters, For those that do pay attention, it is a great system.
Very simple and if you dislike the origional, please send it, I will gladly pay the shipping.

I would pay shipping plus $10.00 to have that as a spare

The old system already has a new home, but thanks for the offers.
