Racor - Stephen Birtles - 07-21-2006 02:57 Ihave a new 1000fg racor old style with filter no heater $125.00 Stephen Racor - Bob Lawrence - 07-22-2006 04:05 Hi Stephen, My filter has 3 sensors going to it. Does that mean that one of them is for heat? Haven't figured them out yet.

I replaced with a 1000 FG- which has 4 wires. The old fuel heater in the 900FG just grouded to the frame. The new one has a ground wire of its own that needs to be attached somewhere outside the unit- probably because of all the plastic in the new one.

Per Racor manual, refill Racor housing with diesel after draining and replacing filter. Necessary? Thanks in advance Brad Bloxham 78/35FC 3208NA Yuma, AZ. Racor - Rob Robinson - 05-18-2007 11:03 Absolutely. Also I would suggest doing the spin on fuel filter last and replace it quickly with a new "full" spin on filter. This will help to minimize air in the sytem and the amount of cranking you have to do. On 18/05/07, kingmtpg > > New guy here again.

Shut the engine down and change the other filter, the spin on, for instance, and start the engine. This way, if you goober it up, you will have a good idea which one you did wrong. The goal is trying to keep excess air out of the system, hence filling the Racor, and by the way, filling the spin on, if applicable prior to installing it. Don't get wrapped around the axle on this. It is a simple, straight forward evolution. Regards, Jim |
