    Detroit diesel series 60 12.7 additional fuel filter mount. Pressure tested. Installed on the fuel intake side (tanks to engine) before Davco 382 filter / water separators.

    * See fuel filter number for cross reference search.

    * fuel line (brown color) is 5/8 in size hi temp nilon hose.

    * fittings, if i remember correctly, are 3/8 or half inch or 5/8. visit Baldwin website for accurate mount information or take the whole mount to the same place the hoses are sold at to ask. one straight in. one elbow. 2 screw in caps.

    * There is a flow on/off switch at the exit to davco intake, It is optional, when replacing the Baldwin filter mount filter only. please zoom in at the picture to see. silver color.

    * Thread locker high temp used. red color.

    * Filter needs to be prefilled along with the Davco. No lag. No drag. No chocke. on startup.

    * see pictures for additional reference. attempt at your own risk. Don't try this at home.

    you are right. Not needed at all, but there isn't any drawbacks for an additional filter. right?

    Seems like putting a filter before the Davco, defeats the benefit of having a Davco. You're back to guessing when the spin-on needs to be changed. I would always have the Davco as the primary.

    Remote filter bases aren't new. Did you do this for fun?

    Like filter bases since the beginning, yoy've got an inlet and outlet. You hooked it up. Congrats
