pump/filter idea

[aggieLR]

Ok, let me know what ya'll think about this one. I work at a Deere dealer, and on the 9060 STS combines, they use a 10 and 2 micron fuel filters. The 2 micron filtler has a water drain in the bottom as well. I can get the filter head by itself. Do you think putting a Carter high flow pump in place of the stock lift pump and then JD 2 micron filter along the frame rail just after the pusher pump into the stock filter will work? Or should I start looking for somehwere to mount the 2 micron filter after the stock filter?

I am using a Cat 2 micron filer & a carter pump, have the factory upgrade in tank pump & extra pump & filter inline before the factory filter. Extra pump wired so that it comes on when key is turned on. Clean fuel is never a bad idea

some of them new deere engines have the racor fuel transfer pump/filter setup bolted to them from factory don't they...



this one...



its got 10µ primary and 2µ secondary...



as soon as i can get my hands on that racor setup, i will be plumbing it into my fuel system...

I've got a setup here that'll run ya about $700 that has a BIG 10 micron and a 2 micron filter all set up and even a water in fuel and fuel temp senor. But most of the pumps we deal with are gear driven, like on the 8000 and 9000 series. I haven't been able to find an electric one that will work. But I think the 2 micron filter will work better than the stock one. If I put it inline first, I shouldn't have to change the stock filter but once a year.

I did this, and have been running the system for about 2 weeks now. New LP mounted on the frame plumbed into the stock canister, then into a 2-micron Stanadyne unit, then into the CP-3. The Stanadyne is mounted to the engine.



Both the stock canister and the stanadyne units have water drains, but I have not yet attempted to drain the Stanadyne unit because I'm hoping the stock one will catch most of the water (I've never actually had any water at all drain from the stock canister).



You can read my saga here.



It's long, and the design went through several revisions by the time you get to the last page.
