  Powertech Fuel Filter

  Posted by David on October 16, 2020 at 1:21 pm

  Hello,

  I change my oil and Filter for my 17.5 K Powertech Generator with a a ISUZU 4LE1 every 100 hours. What is the recommendation on changing the fuel filter. Should it be changed every service?

  My filter is not marked, does anyone know the part number?

  I use to do both.

  The fuel filter at a NAPA if I remember is less than $10.

  I also changed the Racor filter on my genset.

  I agree with Buddy about doing them every time the engine is serviced.

  As a practical matter the pick-up for fuel on the generator is nowhere near the bottom of the fuel tank so it is unlikely the generator is ever going draw in sediment from the bottom of the fuel tank, But with the cost of filters so low there is no real reason to not replace the filter at every oil change.
