In line fuel filter
Original Message   Dec 9, 2008 2:18 pm
Hi all;

I am going to pick up a Tecumseh fuel filter tomorrow. I was wondering where is the best placement of this? The fuel filter looks to be clear in some pictures and others it is complete grey. I am unsure which it will be right now, but if clear it makes me wonder on the placement.

Should I put this in line below the fuel tank and before the petcock (shut off valve)? Or should I put it after the petcock, prior to the engine?  My thinking is if it is clear, maybe after the petcock so that when I shut the gas off, nothing is sitting in the fuel filter.

The in line fuel filter is Fuel Filter Tecumseh/34279B and its pictured below



Last, I am also planning on cleaning out the tank as there looks to be a little settiment in there. Is there something I should be cleaning it out with (solvent?), or just swish a little new gas around to rinse it out?

Cheers
