Davco fuel filter glogged

Yes you can take the filter out in an emergency. But I would only do it if you have a secondary filter on the engine. Then when you get to where you have to go change both filters and find out why the Davao was plugged in the first place

 

If your Davao is plugged , the fuel should be right to the top in the sight glass.

Did is you get a bad batch of fuel or just don't belive in preventive maintenance.

Those davcos clearly let you know when they need a filter change.

Glad you got it figured out thou!

 

I always carry extra filters because my fuel level seems to go right to the change mark at the top of the filter pretty fast and I just keep going until I feel like I got my money's worth. But, I've never felt it bog down before. Just changed my filter yesterday, switched over to Donaldson from fleet guard and it's right at the middle of the filter already today. I'm going to release the top cap in the morning to see if it just has some vacuum, but I don't know why those fleet guards showed clogged so fast.

 

Make it out of there alright? What do they charge for delivery? Did you buy an extra one for next time?

 

There is a standard filter that will spin right on it.

 

Davco is a cartridge filter in a bubble.

 

8 degrees F? We are seeing the new Ultralow sulphur diesel is gelling a lot warmer then the good ol' fashion diesel did years ago.
