Greg Cullison 40 #1 Posted November 9 1990 (?) 312-8 with the Kohler Magnum 12. Can the fuel filter be picked up at my local Tractor Supply store? Anyone know the part number off hand? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,393 #2 Posted November 9 (edited) By fuel filter are you looking for an in-line clear plastic filter, if so you can buy any 1/4" filter off the shelf. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/arnold-universal-fuel-filter-4441282?store=1398&cid=Google-Shopping-Sustain&utm_medium=Google&utm_source=Shopping&utm_content=Sustain&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArby5BhCDARIsAIJvjIRL4bGw_EqlPQX9MCRCKk8sY63RQ8NsPA7Z4lZ52qE2A7HBydrpngcaAo1aEALw_wcB Edited November 9 by 953 nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Cullison 40 #3 Posted November 9 Yeah it looks pretty simple and that would work. I didn't know if there were different levels of "filtration" that could starve the engine of fuel. Happened to me on a generator once... Thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,171 #4 Posted November 9 Stay away from these type filters. They tend to air lock (happened to me more than once) and the cheap version of these the media falls apart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill D 1,927 #7 Posted November 10 I use the Briggs and Stratton filters they sell at TSC. Good quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,171 #8 Posted November 10 I've had 4 of those cheap clear plastic fuel filters air lock. Even with an electric pump. Had a couple tractors in for service with them and the fuel bowls are filled with filter material. I use the red Breaks and Scrap Em pancake filters now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One reason I prefer the clear filter is so I can see any particulate it catches. Definitely a plus with a metal tank or if you have a fuel sensor that can drop debris.
