 Topic: Fuel strainer
Posted: 19 Aug 2012 at 7:39am |

Do anyone make a fuel strainer that fits into the inlet on the top of the sediment bowl, so you can add it to your existing sediment bowl? I am looking for one for my D19 as it seems like I still have some junk that keeps loosening up in my tank.

You might try taking the whole bowl out, and soldering a piece of 50-100 mesh brass screen, into the input end. I think some of the old fords used a similar screen. I assume you are not talking about the original flat, washer like screen, that sits under the bowl gasket. If you need that, it's still available from agco, and after market.

I just got one last spring from Stieners to put in the neighbors 770 Oliver. It's a press fit kinda deal but I had to open up the casting to fit the screen. Costs almost as much for the shipping as the screen but I wanted it and couldn't find one locally.

At your local John Deere dealer ask for a sediment bowl screen for a 7700 combine. It's kinda of a cone shaped screen with a lot more surface area than a flat disc.

Thanks for the help guys. I ordered two from Steiner's. Was pulling the D19 yesterday and some crud must have made it's way into the carb as just as she was pulling good, she fell on her face. Got it onto the trailer but it konked out two or three times coming off when I got home. So I will clean the carb again, and drain and try to clean the gas tank again, and with this fuel strainer above the sediment bowl, the brass screen in the sediment bowl, and I ordered one for the elbow by the carb, I will hopefully eliminate my problems. I thought I had it all cleaned out but I guess not.

Yeah, I've been there too. Getting the pickup point elevated an inch off the bottom of the tank helps alot, although crud builds up there, and you can't use all the fuel...
My favorite trick is draining the tank, rinsing and drying it good, then using a piece of 1" conduit duct-taped to the shop-vac to suck all the loose crud out. DUnno how hard those tanks are to yank out, but tumbling the tank with about three boxes of bolts bouncing around in there DOES knock the crud loose... I had'ta do that with the WD's tank, as it was a little 'flakey'.

I know its not politically correct, but all of my tractors have an inline filter and the sediment bowl replaced with a ball valve. I don't want to get at the other end of a field and have to walk. With constant back pain I hate to walk anywhere any more.

The local Fleet Farm carries the sediment bowl screens; comes packaged with the gasket also. Would think TSC and other tractor/farm supply stores carry them also. Jim D at OK tractor also handles them

I have been thinking of that option and I might add that to the mix as well. I put one on my D15 and it helped but that one the original line was already gone so I just cut the rubber hose and installed it. I guess if I wanted to I could take the steel line going to the fuel pump and replace it with a rubber hose and put an inline filter inbetween, or do the same with the one that goes to the carb, that way if something happens with the fuel pump, it will catch it before it goes into the carb.

Hi chuck saw you pull yesterday, wondering what happened you had a good pull going and you stuttered and then you pulled the power director and nothing. Farm and fleet or fleet farm should have the screen with the sediment bowl gasket just have to get the right size. Tractor looked good otherwise. I was hoping you would do good some of those tractors at that pull are a little more then farm tractors. They are pretty lax on rule enforcement sometimes.

Watch rubber hoses!! They can cause problems also. Especially if they're aged. Minute pieces of rubber flakes off the inside of the hose and can get down into the carb or filter and start flow problems. I always mentioned to our customer's use as little hose as possible for fuel delivery to the carburetor. Some I see have hose from the tank to the carb. Not good. With the intro of Ethenol to our fuel, that also plays havoc with rubber parts. An inline gravity feed type filter works nice along with the sediment bulb screen to catch debris. We carry a neat little gravity feed fuel filter kit in stock. The filter is even Orange, so it hides quite well for the "correct police". LOL! Kit runs $8. bucks plus the shipping.

Steve in NJ, I'll grant that you have to be careful with rubber hose and deterioration of the hose. However, my NAPA store carries a good grade of fuel line hose, and so far I've not had problems. But I do monitor the condition and replace anything that looks like it's separating. As stated, I have a very hard time walking and can't stand over 10 minutes without back pain, so maybe I'm a little more anal about my tractors not quitting at a distance from the shop. Hell to get old!
