Back home from Darwin .
While I was up there I told my mate with a D3 about peterpam's $9000 bill after picking up a bad tank of fuel, and gave him a printout of peterpam's post .
He's ordered a raycor fuel filter as suggested . It'll be in in a couple of days, and he's taking it to a truck diesel repair workshop recommended by the raycor supplier .
He's just rung me .
He's seen a picture of one, and it seems like it's about the size of a loaf of bread, and he wants to know where to fit it . He says there's a spot (as I understood it, but I may be wrong), nearside, behind the radiator, but wonders if there's alternatives .
Has anybody fitted one of these yet ? Where did you fit it ?
If not, any suggestions ?
Roadwarrior said that you can periodically unscrew the bottom to let any water out, so it would have to be accessible .
When I used to work on cars, (home mechanic), and wanted to fit something in a crowded engine bay, with no available surface, I would occasionally make a bracket to suit, so it hung in the air between (say) the inner mudguard and the firewall .
So any and all suggestions appreciated . But it must be in a position where you can fit it, and where you can unscrew the bottom .
Thanks John
