1988 FC35 fuel filters and Racor location

[chet geist]

Bruce,

That 3166 is a drop in fuel filter for a Perkins engine and should be used
on your generator if you have that engine on it. The Racor 2040SM is a 2
micron fuel filter and is what Blue Bird used on many of their coaches. You
will probably also have a filter on the Cat engine. Not sure what that
number is.

I am putting together a list of oil and fuel filters to keep as spares
for my Bird. I found all the part #,s for the Cat and the Onan. BUT I
also found some old tech bulletin about using the 1P2299 as a primary
filter. Apparently the micron rating has changed on this filter. Left
me confused! As for the racor: My Bird is sitting rather low right now
and I do not want to disturb the neighbors by starting the engine to
air it up. Dumb question: Where is that racor located? I am assuming it
is somewhere along the drivers side frame rail? Which model Racor is on
my coach? My manual says it uses a a Racor 2040SM filter. I found a
small fuel filter in a box marked NAPA 3166. I cannot cross this filter
to any Cat or Onan #'s. It is a drop in cartridge and very small. Any
ideas? Could be from the previous owners tractor??
