$20-$30 for the two 3/8 pipe to tube fittings is way too high. You don't actually need 5/16 hose, you can go from the racor to the pump with 3/8" You'll need a tubing bender, and quick disconnect tools, also pvc shears to do the harpoon mod, and a die grinder/dremel/step drill bit to enlarge the fuel spout hole to use the big rig pumps while you have everything out

look at Sous parts list on the link above and you can get everything from Amazon but the filter. Think I paid $56 for my racor

I just ordered everything for the hutch mod yesterday. Mine was closer to $200, but I also bought new filler and vent hoses. Figured while I was in there...

It appears that Sous’ Racor source (TDS Warehouse) is no longer in business. I bought my PS120 from Racor PS120-02 FUEL FILTER ASSY. PRE-SCREEN for $56.95 plus about $10 shipping to AL.

Save the money on the 5/16 stuff. Take the return hose that's connected to the scren filters and cut it at the bend, then turn it 90*. Air travels up anyhow, so it won't get pulled into the 3/8 tube, which is 5" below the return 😉...hobby store will have an aluminum tube of 3/8 size, then just get a union...heck, I'm not even running the pickup foot. Measure correctly and its not needed. Any debris will be caught in the racor.

I encourage you to use 5/16 hose between the filter and the fuel pump. (The SAE equivalent to the metric, correct size.)
My Hutch has been in place since 2010.
I use Wix 33972 filter now. It is 2x as large as the filter pictured.
All connections are double clamped now.



Eliminated foot.

That's my style right there, looks like about a $10.00 job.

Don't get me wrong I like/use Kubota tractors, but that filter looks very cheap/thin plastic bowl compared to the Racor. You'll definatly want to put a bash plate around it if you go that route.
When you do drop the tank you'll be surprised at the amount of rocks and plastic bags between the tank and frame. I know I was considering it's in front of the rear tires, and how far it is from the front tires that have mud flaps as well. And I don't mean pebbles, I'm talking golf ball sized rocks. It looked like i took my truck off roading in reverse thru a gravel pit.

For those looking for a Racor PS-120 remember there are 2 models, the -01 and the -02. Difference is the Thread sizes for the fittings

The PS-120-02 is the one with 3/8” NPT inlet/outlet threads. All the build lists I’ve seen have the 3/8” NPT hose barbs.
