Hey guys, I am replacing my fuel filter. I've done it before and it's a breeze, but, this time I had stuck a rag down there to clean things up and apparently had knocked a little wire with three little circular pod things loose. I'm not sure how it goes back together, or if it sinches down when you install the filter??
Ofcourse I was expecting a 3 minute fuel filter change and it's dark outside now :doh:
There are three slots down there that surround the center post. There are three loose pods that go into three indentions at the bottom. There is a wire that (I'm guessing) holds them down, but can't figure out how it goes back together.
One end of the wire has nothing on it, so it doesn't appear to lock into anything (unless I broke something off of the end of the wire).
Any ideas? Anyone know what I"m referring to for sure?
ok that is the bowl heater just unplug it not sure if you will have to get a new bowl or not for a permanent fix or not? but for now as long as the temps are now well below freezing and u use an anti gelling additive you should be fine with it unplugged
no problem not sure if u can fix or not but i usually use power service or lucas makes one i am trying out right now seems good so far it is made for winter use truck seems to like it thus far
Dieselorings. com has the heater for 54 bucks or so. Im fixing to have to do the same. Mine shorted out and left me stranded until I figured it out. There was a new filter housing complete on ebay for 100 bucks too. I jst unplugged mine and it still runs fine. Went to feed last night in the 20's and could tell any difference. I do run anti gel though.
I've unplugged mine and it's been down to zero degrees and single digits. I've left the block heater plugged in overnight when it gets super cold out, but haven't had any problems since unplugging the fuel bowl heater that I can speak of.
