|
|
In my area the Fram G1 filter is hard to find if you can, I usually have to order them from Lockwood Aviation.
A little over a month ago I went around to various auto parts to see if I could get a like replacement. This is what I learned.
Auto Zone - didn't have any crossover to Fram G1.
PEP Boys - told them I needed 1/4" barb connects - they gave me one with 5/16". - returned it.
O'Reilly Auto Parts - had a filter but not quite like the Fram.
NAPA Auto Parts - they had a replacement - one with 5/16" barbs and one with 1/4" barbs - this one was identical to the Fram G1 - the case direction flow indicator molded into the plastic housing was identical to the Fram G1 - looked identical to me. I'm running one now, so far no problems.
The NAPA has a paper element - I will look at it to see if it has metal caps on each end of the filter paper media, and if it has the little miniature filter held (wedged) in place by standoffs made into the plastic
housing as referenced by Phil.
I understand Mark Smith on the UL or CGS Hawk List sells the Fram G1 filters.
I would like to thank Phil for his input and the lead to Tractor Supply as a source for the Fram G1 filters.

Jerb, Thanks for the good info. Since my recent experience I am a little reluctant to use another plastic housing filter.BUT, if there are good ones available I will still consider them. The clear housing type are what I would want.
The thing to look for is how the element is located within. It should be mechanically captured by the housing, not held
in place by some mysterious means.
Placing it in the suction area before the pump would eliminate pressure/burst problems.
-all it has to do is survive ethanol.
Anyway, since getting that behind me I attended a flyin event yesterday and a breakfast this morning. Good to be flying
and not fixing. -besides, I had to go someplace after getting it clean enough to appear in public.
I flew alongside a flock of taildraggers going to. ...rephrase that, I straggled behind those speedy A65 powered monsters.
