09 trooper fuel filter part number

[ERV JR]

anyone have a part# for a replacment fuel filter ? I found the fram number listed in the parts section but its not correct , maybe for earlier units.

MY inlet port is around 3/4 in dia an that other one was eithe 5/16 or 3/8.

Actually, that's is the correct number, the way they use it is to put a short piece of 5/16 or 3/8 on first, then slide the 1/2 over that and clamp it, that way the hose fits the fuel pump inlet. A; ;east, that's the way mine is. They also did the same trick where the oil from the air oil separator drains back into the pan on mine. I think the best fix is to get a 1/2 to 3/8 brass fitting and use that to match the two different sizes of hose fittings.

I thought about it after I left to disneyland yeaterday and I posted that incorrectly, the inlet on the pump was large and the filter inlet was small with a large outlet.Pretty stupid,and goes against everything ever said about fuel system design. Normally you run 1 size larger on the inlet to the pump ,say -8 to the pump and -6 from pump to regulator,so as not to starve the pump and prevent cavatation (sp)

ok I got the new fuel filter in today and see what you mean about the goofy line stuff inside the other

Kinarfi is very right about using brass fittings you don't want a fuel leak or possibly air getting into the line. After talking to Lenny the other day I bought a racing type cannister fuel filter. The element is replaceble and not to expensive, the do come in many different sizes and basicly they are desinged for our type of application.

I replaced the pump tonight , so its now a 5/16 line from the filter to the pump
