primary fuel filter/primer assembly
After a lot o confusion, due somewhat to the beamalarm info, I was able to order the correct primary fuel filter assembly. Here is the issue: beamalarm recommended the Racor 12963 retrofit kit to replace the obsolete 90s1230 (or Winn 200200). When searching the retrofit kit, I found different part suppliers that showed photos that resembled the original with plastic pre-filter. On recommendation from members I was told the correct upgrade was Racor 790r30, which I had difficulty finding (not in ebay or Amazon). I finally found info from Diesel Direct. I looked up the 12963 kit then talked to a parts person about mailing info. She asked if I had a motorhome and if the problem was leaking. When I told her that was the case, she said the 12963 would not help, but suggested the 790r30. I ended up ordering that on a two day USPS option. Not to be sexist, I've found that most women will turn me over to a guy whenever I get the least bit technical. I was very impressed with this lady who seemed to be very familiar with the parts discussed. I'm relaying this, so hopefully, others won't go down the same "rabbit holes" I've been through. It is possible that I misunderstood the info in the beam alarm page, but it was confusing to me; hopefully they will clarify or at least make some distinctions between the 12963 and 790r30.
