Racor Filtration System

(1/3) > >>

Eric Drickersen:
I see there are a few old posts on repairs and replacement to the now obsolete Racor system used in my 2001 Marquis, but hoping I can get some specific guidance on how to proceed with a repair/replacement. Mine has the plastic bowl (water separator?) attached to the unit, which now appears to be cracked and leaking. I spent some time speaking to Parker Racor techs and they suggested updating to the P790R system. I see obtaining a replacement bowl is not possible, but is there are other recommended mods or fixes for this without going into a full replacement?

Respectfully, Eric

Dan Johnson:
I had what you have plus a second cat filter. I upgraded to cat primary filter and new fuel line to fuel pump per cat man Dave. I can help with part numbers if needed.

Eric Drickersen:
Thank you! That would be helpful. I also have another filter located along side this unit.

Dan Johnson:
Filter base  1374367,  5134490 primary (first)  filter,  clear bowl for filter and secondary filter 1R0749. I also had cat make a new line from fuel pump to filter. You will need some fittings to filter base which I got from a hydraulic company. I took a picture but do not know how to post here. Send me your email address so I can send picture of finished job. These are all cat numbers.

Eric Drickersen:
Thanks Dan.
Fred suggested I take a closer look at the plastic bowl to see if in fact it was cracked, or if the o-rings had failed. I did just that, and it looks like it's just the o-rings and seals! I (foolishly) took the mechanics word that the bowl had cracked and caused the leak.
