Hello again, I got the old girl fitted up with the new 24v starter, sorted a few track rollers out and solved the mystery of the left hand steering clutch and now I’m asking for help, does anyone know of an alternative for the fuel strainer that sits inside the tank and strains the fuel as it goes in, thanks, troy

Yes, several folks have added spin-on filters in the line between tank and lift pump. I wasn’t aware there was a strainer in the bottom of the tank, but I think that’s a good thing that would keep larger stuff out of the lift pump gears.

D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time:D

Troy, could you explain why you're asking if there's an alternative to the fuel strainer? That might help the team provide an answer that meets your needs.

Cheers,

The strainer sits under the screw on cap for the diesel, i would like to know if theres any other alternative s to the cat one, 5B3693, that i could use as the news ones are hard to get and if they can they are pretty expensive, thanks

Oh ok, that makes sense. If you goggle around, you might find something of similar diameter off the shelf, possibly plastic. Another option is to solder some mesh to a couple of generic rings from Home Depot or similar. I replaced the screen on my 5U's oil pickup using that approach. You could also check on machinerytrader for a used part.

Hi, Neil.
That'd be one LONNNNGGG commute. If you have another look at the original post in this thread, you may notice the letters, "qld", at the end of the post title. I suspect that they stand for 'Queensland' - which is the Northern-most state on the East coast of DowNunda.

Hi, Troys112.
Suggest you look up Lance Jones in this forum and get in touch with him. He hazza lotta 'stuff' himself and knows where to find a LOTTT more.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Where I wrote Home Depot, substitute Bunnings or similar - you get the idea : ) I'd wager some of those pickup tanks have a strainer that might fit for purpose.

Hi, Neil.
The only things Bunnings or any of the FEW other remaining hardware chains there might have would likely be strainers from the tanks of spray units. Even then, a farm supply place would likely be a better bet - might hafta settle for something plastic there.

I still think Lance Jones is the best bet.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
