Walbro + Racor 2 micron filter installation

[CBari]

If you get on DTR, cquestad (article by him about his truck feautured in latest issue of Diesel Power) did this install recently. I asked him the same question and he hasn't noticed any pressure drops due to the extra length of hose. It's still summer though!



Lots of folks run a 2 micron FASS system without a heater on the FASS in cold climates with reported no issues so I think it really depends on the fuel you get and if it is prepared accordingly to the climate.

THANKS FOR THE INFO I GUESS I WILL GIVE IT A TRY, I AM REALLY THING THAT THE ADDITIONAL FILTRATION WILL BE NEEDED WHEN WE START TO SEE ULSD HERE IN ARKANSAS

Gcoleman Do You Think You Could Run Into Any Trouble With The Fuel Gelling In Cold Weather Between The Stock And The 2 Micron Filter With All Of That Hose.



I Only Ask Because I Am Looking At Doing The Same As What You Have Done, But I Wondered About The Gelling As I Have Had It Happen Before On My Truck

I live in central Calif. so that is not a problem for me. We rarely see anything below 32 degrees. Would Diesel #1 or some Power Service additive solve your problem?

That was exactly my thinking. Once I get my fuel pressure guage in, I can monitor any drop in pressure and then change out my filters. It will be nice to actually change the filter when needed rather than arbitrarily changing every 5K or 10K miles.
