Fuel/water separator

I just found this one at a store here in Ocala. You can get a glass water bowl but it didnt come in the kit. I'll get it next time I change the filter. Best part is it was only 68.00 for the kit. Is it a good one? All the others people are running are around 170.00.

I'm comfused....Is the filter you have in the picture 2 or 30? #0 is good for a primary filter and 2 is good for a secondary filter. You should have both.

Ok I figured it out. The one in the picture is 30 micron and the 33528 is the 2 micron. Those filters are a good combo!

What size ports and how many does the filter base have? Napa wholesale on that filter base/filter is $43 with a list price of $123 so you did get a good deal on it.

Good call on the aeromotive. You will beat me to getting it installed but I am working out my lines and fittings right now. I need to my turbo mounted first then work my fuel system around that.

The base has 4 ports, just measured them to 1/2". The place here has filter and base for 68.00, I thought this was good because NAPA wants 30.00 for the filter alone. But I think the place I got it has just filter for around 15.

Doin my fuel system now might be a little premature because I wanted to get injectors and stacks first, but I sprung a fuel leak in the valley so I decided to convert it now.

Good time to do the fuel system for sure! You got a good deal. The only time you could get it cheaper is if you had a hook up to get parts at wholesale prices. Thankfully I do lest I would not have half the stuff done to my truck!!
