Fule filter drain hose

[tony1461571]

Ok I know this has been covered on here many times But I can't find a tread on it. What's the size ID of the hose on the front drain for the fuel filter 2014
Thanks

Find a clear hose that fits the rear filter 5/16" ID and it will slide inside the factory engine filter 7/16". I one hose severs both. I yellow crimp #12-10 butt connector sides inside the 5/16" ID to make it into a loop for storage.

Did it for Cummins12V98 also.

I use an old piece of 5/8" ID garden hose. I like the idea going around the drain house instead of inside where it could possibly leak. The 5/8 is just tight enough ,and I usually push it on about 3-4 inches with no issues of coming off. I use 3/8" ID on the rear its also snug enough . I guess 5/16" would also work I see no need to be that tight. If 5/16" works for both thats great. I used what I had without making a trip.

I have an extension that I added to the factory one on the front that I zip tied up to the frame crossmember under the engine. I just cut the zip tie, drain the filter into a bottle, change my filter. close the valve, then zip tie it back in place. The rear I use a piece of 5/16" tubing into the bottle. I have not perfected the rear. I still have spillage that keeps me looking for a better way.

Ken.......save an old milk jug. Cut out enough of the top of the milk jug (leaving the handle of the jug intact) so as the frame mounted separator will drop into it. Using your 5/16" tubing, drain off some of the fuel. Disconnect the WIF sensor. Using either a band style filter wrench or pliers, loosen the separator where it can then be turned by hand. Spin off and allow to fall into the jug. VOILLLLLLLLA.......no mess!!!

Thanks Greg. I'll try that next time. I knew there had to be a better way.

Yes and it works well! I just used it on my Son's 15 Limited a couple weeks ago.

I'm already cool as I ordered one after Greg showed it in his post! LOL

I'm cooler because I ordered one from Geno's.

 

[Cummins12V98]

Ya know I have ordered and promoted Geno's for years but when it is about $130 for two filters there or $83 on AMAZON I can't justify Geno's at that price difference.

I have said it all along there are no bargains at Geno's , much better prices elsewhere. Its surprising they are not more competitive on some items.I guess they have enough blind following they don't care.

But the tool in question is $6.95 at Geno's.

That's a good price for sure but what does it cost to ship it. AMAZON's price is now 10.92 shipped.

I have bought literally thousands of dollars from Geno's over the years and will continue to do so if the prices are at least CLOSE to their competition. Geno's are you listening???????

 

[kthaxton]

Heck, I don't remember. This is really a non-issue for me, I didn't think it was worth dissecting further.

It may be a non issue to you, but I for one don't enjoy overpaying for an item, this blind loyalty may work for some, it does not work for me. You continue on your non issue, buts it my pocket book ,and I will shop for the best prices. Geno's is not the best price for anything that I have shopped for that they carry.

Well blind loyalty can only go so far, yes they need to listen if they want to be competitive .

Oh my goodness....I can't belief this is even worth discussing. Firstly, we are talking like $5-6 if that! While I don't recall what the shipping charges were, I'm sure the price was similar to Amazon's or even slightly less.....but again...a couple bucks.
Secondly, I only made the Geno's comment in jest. I can't believe two of you thought is was worth challenging!

Also, I don't have blind loyalty, I buy my fuel filters from Amazon too. Time to go outside and play.

I was referring mostly about the filters, but all is good. I have just wondered about whats so great about Geno's with some.
