John-T-53 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Anybody have a part number or source for the correct fuel filter? Mine has the filter bowl as part of the pump (see pic). The filter pictured in here has since fallen apart. None of the stores around here can get me a filter that fits right. Thanks much! - JT.

grey beard Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I use generic in-line transparant plasric fuel filters. Since my pump is electric, I have it mounted on the crossmember, just in front of the fuel tank, and the filter is between the tank and the pump. My fuel line goes from the pump diirectly into the carburetor. With these plastic filters, I can see if they are dirty or need to be changed, when I am servicing the truck, underneath. AND, they're cheap. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Evans Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 One of these might fit. I know they do for the filter up by the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 This is another one of the near the carb inline filters. This one is a little shorter and bigger around then the one Reg showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ's Dodge Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Here is another version of a stock inline fuel filter from my B1-RA 172 The filter is a stone and it is made by Carter. I will see if I can find a part number for you. KJ Edited September 1, 2009 by KJ's Dodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I picked up one of the Napa 3943 filters. The hole at the top was a bit too big, so the filter didn't stay in place. I think the element I had previously was the kind that fits Young Ed's AC domed inline filter. I was able to take the top fiber piece from the that one and glue it to the 3943 filter. Then I put a few washers in the bottom of the bowl to hold the element up in place. It's a little on the "rigged" side, but will work for now. Maybe the parts guys could look up a filter based on the Airtex pump number instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 You cant see it very well in the pic but there is a spring under the filter in my picture. My other filter with the 3943 element also has a spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Evans Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah, I just opened the two 3943 boxes I have right now and one has the spring in it and the other doesn't. The one with the spring doesn't have the gasket for the glass bowl. Why...why...why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Neither of mine came with a spring. I bought some at the hardware store that matched up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
