Hi Garrett, I see the same model number on the primary and secondary fuel filters. I thought they had different micron ratings which would give them different model numbers. Can you clarify please?
So, these were the filters that came with the kit. Many people believe the filters work in parallel to increase flow and filter life, and the guy that designed this kit is one of those people. Unfortunately, that isn't true. If you remove the filter base you can easily trace the fuel path and see the filters clearly are plumbed in series. In summary, it was a fundamental flaw in theory of operation by the kit supplier.
Hey Garrett, new to the met, great videos and tips.. looking to install a remanufactured injection pump to undetermined untrimmed engine block... haven't been able to find a video you may have to position crank and valve orientation prior to pump install...Help please....TN...
Hi man - thank you for your help, I just got the fuel filter 3511/12 from napa and I dont mind installing them, the problem is I can't get the new napa o-ring inside the canister, I see how you did the o - ring and its looks so easy, do you think the o-ring that comes with the 3511 is not fitting the canister? Maybe I should throw away these filters I just bought and get the kit... What do you think?
always better to switch to spin on filters if you can. I use a Napa 4770 filter base to replace the primary filter head entirely instead of using the adapter.
@@tacticalrepair thank you for your reply, its looks like the adapter is easier to replace (either way the alternator has to move) any reason you replaced the whole filter base instead of the adapter?
@@tacticalrepair i did... he was out i'll call back .. talked to owner of duece, told him what i had .. i think it's a done deal so i'll be calling mike alot !!!! thanx again for your wonderful advice, wisdom and experience...priceless. i have a hill it's goin to be a mudhill clmbing park ... haha come to alaska and we'll make a video my truck is your truck.
hey bud, my canister leaks from the top, im guessing its the seal on it, is it ok to drive it like that? ive done a 24 miles trip and it didnt bother the engine so im on the edge of changing i out but if its not urgent ill put it off for now
thanks bud i been binge watching your videos lately. good content on your channel. i have a 1970s m35a2 as well so its good learning on it from other people. like that alternator video was really good. i like how well spoken you are about the topic. could you do a video on testing the voltage and adjusting the alt. i tihnk it would make a good video since u have motors laying around where u can easily show how to test and adjust the alts.
john dowe I may do that. Not a terrible idea. Btw, new fuel filters will come with the o-ring that is leaking on your top canister bolt. Leaking means it's probably not been changed in 15 years and the o-ring is rotted.
Yeah probably, im gonna stick with the old style filters for now. do you sell m35a2 parts? i need a windshield that isnt broken. i wanted to swpa out the glass but i read it wasnt worth it cause its a big hassle. and the one i bought off mike motor pool was 200$ whata ripoff
john dowe no I don't sell parts like that. $150-$200 is the standard price for new windshields these days. But keep in mind that they are aluminum frames and they won't rust out again in 6 years.
Start with the back filter first. Good advice and a step that is often left out in technical manuals. Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that, it was very informative.
Doc William you're very welcome.

Nice job.Thanks.
Would it better to fill the filters with fuel before install?
No. Your lift pump will fill them automatically when you turn the power on. Pre- filling them ensures contaminants will bypass the folter element.

Damn 7/16 and 9/16 I can never find them either!!!
Do these have any advantage over the stock ones?
Much better filtration, way easier to change them, wider range of available filters in more places.
Where can I get this kit from? can you help me out?
Steelsoldiers.com member Tie6044 makes and sells them. You'd have to find him on there.

Btw - what about the primary fuel filter, any kit for it?
always better to switch to spin on filters if you can. I use a Napa 4770 filter base to replace the primary filter head entirely instead of using the adapter.
@@tacticalrepair thank you for your reply, its looks like the adapter is easier to replace (either way the alternator has to move) any reason you replaced the whole filter base instead of the adapter?
Yes! The thread pitch if the 4770 base is 1"-14, which gives you many more options of better filters than the adapter allows.
@@tacticalrepair like the tip on napa 4770 filter base
Is it common for this filter to leak a little from the top gasket ? I have a slow leak on my napa filter and it’s brand new
Yes
does mike's carry these adaptors?
I'm not sure. Call him up and see.

Will those fit a 8v71 Detroit Diesel
No

john dowe try to tighten it up and see if it stops. If it isn't pouring, it should be fine.

which filter is the final?
Blaine Johnson
The final filter is the one closest to the firewall.
That one bleeder gets the air out of both filters ? Do you have to crack any injector lines loose to bleed injector pump ?
Yes, and no you don't.
Can you message me directly? I have some questions for you in regards to my M35
