Title: SL280 Fuel Filter Body
Post by: Ksprul on June 19, 2018, 13:43:45

I've had my sl280 for about a month and this past weekend i got around to working through the fuel system.

I rebuilt a very leaky pump and started to replace the fuel filter when i realized that a previous owner has sheared the fuel filter mounting plate from the top of the filter housing.  To fix the problem they cable tied the fuel filter body just out of sight, from a casual glance everything looked fine!

I've got two options as i can see.

1) take the two broken parts off and JB weld them together
2) purchase a replacement fuel filter body.

I'll do 1 if i have to but was wondering if anyone knows of a source for a replacement fuel filter housing (top section or both)

thanks in advance
Karl
