    Will a regular spin on type filter work inside a davco glass bowl fuel water separator?

    When cross referencing the filter part number it shows both spin on and element only. The only reason I ask is I have a bunch of spin on's with no where to use them.

    Thanks

    I think they are for emergency use. cause you would not know when to change filter.no sight to see fuel level. if your plastic dome ever gets cracked, that may be your only way home.

    Davco Elements and the bowl wrench to change it is cheap. I suggest getting them.

    I have seen a couple davco units with no dome, just what looked like a upside down metal filter. like a oil filter only smaller. nothing else?
