Air Filter for generator

[Pete Masterson]

I bought an oil filter, that was supposed to match the model number in the PowerTech manual in my blue box. It was too large to fit on the engine.

I then got the filter number off the old one mounted on the engine (it's listed in my original message). I have no idea how the filter was selected, since it was what was mounted on the engine when I purchased the coach.

I have submitted a query to WIX and I'll report back what I hear from them.

Doing a little more research, the generator has a Kubota V1902 engine.

The current Kubota parts catalog suggests HH164-32430 (Kubota Part #) as the correct filter. This assumes that the oil filter is the same as used in 1995 (or 1993).

Using this part number, I was able to get a Fram number (From the Fram web site) that indicates that Fram PH3534 is correct. That corresponds to (according to the Fram web site) a WIX 51411 or 51601.

But, looking at the measurements in the catalog listing, that appears to be the same filter I originally got for my generator that does not appear to fit properly.

Pete, the Wix number of the oil filter on my 1993 Powertech/Kubota model is 51806. Wonder if I have the wrong one.

Filters for PowerTech generator.

PowerTech PTS MH-15 Generator (with Kubota Engine)

(Powertech part no) NAPA # Wix # Fram #
Oil filter 70000-32091( ?) 1334 51334 PH6010A
oil filter was another number, but this was what what on the unit.
The originally designated
filter appeared to be too large to fit properly.

Fuel Filter 70000-43081 3390 33390 N/A

Air Filter 70000-11080 6296 46296
OEM: Donaldson DuraLite Air Cleaner ECC (type), C65002 (part #).

WL Owners manual shows Donaldson #ECB05-5001 but this number series is
no longer used.
Note: there is a slightly larger filter available. I'd buy it, if it's
offered. (According to NAPA).
I re-routed the breather tube to outside the generator box by
replacing it with a longer tube. Just ran it out the front edge of the
box where it's "sealed" by the foam sound insulation. No holes to
drill. Air filters now last much longer.

Get several, especially if the breather tube ends near the air filter
intake as it did on my coach. It will eat air filters like crazy
unless you re-route the breather tube.
