Location of Fuel Filter on Our 8 KW Powertech Generator?

After seeing how clogged our primary and secondary fuel filters were I'm now wondering about the generator.  Where is the fuel filter and how hard is it to replace?

I was surprised how relatively easy the fuel filters were to change.

Thanks

Randy- hope the fuel filter changes help on your ISC engine.  On my coach I have 2 fuel filters to change for my Powertech 10KW.
The primary is under the coach, look from behind the passenger front tire and you should see a filter with a small plastic bowl on it, that is the primary fuel/water filter.  The secondary is on the front of the engine ( generator), easy to get to, easy to change.

Best of luck                  ^.^d

I'll climb under tomorrow. And I guess I'll have to pull out the paperwork to figure out which filters the 8 KW uses.

The old filters should have numbers on them.
