I am sick of fighting with the secondary fuel filter hung off the back of my Perkins 4-108. I already have a Racor 500 series primary filter. I will install a smaller filter in the engine room, head of the lift pump. I will leave the old filter on but no longer have to service it.
Questions:
1)What filters have others used? I am considering a small Racor with 2 micron filter element. But they all seem to have water separators, which I don't really need because of the primary filter.
2) I may install either a Racor filter with a priming button or a small electric pump for priming. BUT, I have also read that priming with an electric pump (or maybe the Racor filter with the priming pump) will damage the Perkins lift pump. Any thoughts on that question?
Thanks.
