Timmyb Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I see most R models with battery start have dual battery boxes behind the steer axle. So my question is where are the fuel filters in the pics below located?Any pics of where your ones are would be a great help, as I want to put a battery box there.

Glensts Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Pretty posiitive my R's filters were passenger side, just in front of the dipstick tube about a foot, inside frame rail. You could see the top of them but we changed them from underneath. Now if you had a V8 in there I don't think they'd fit.

Dirtymilkman Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 These were the only 2 pics I had in my phone of mine. They're mounted inside the frame rail on that bracket right below the radiator brace. You can see the fuel lines on each side Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37829-fuel-filter-location/#findComment-267895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look at mine and see if I can mount them there. I've got a few options now!

1MACK1 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Why the dual battery boxes I have electric start on e6 in model 1986 model Standard mack battery box on left side ( Australian. Truck ) with 2 batteries and never ever had an issue with starting Then fuel filters both primary and secondary are mounted in position on driver side just below cabin and in front of fuel tank as per your picJust my thoughts any way 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37829-fuel-filter-location/#findComment-268139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Here is mine when I first bought it, I have since moved it about two inches over and down to make room for a new hand primer as my truck did not have one from factory and the old tac drive fuel pump leaked.

Timmyb Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 What size batteries 1mack1? Who ever fitted my one up used four n70's. All our Kenworths use four batteries so I just assumed I'd need four to start the mack. When filter is fitted inside the chassis is it easy to change?

Dirtymilkman Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 My rd I posted the pic of only has two batteries. It has a e7 mechanical and starts easy. If you have good, clean connections, big enough cable and good batteries you shouldn't have a issue.

theakerstwo Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Two battery will start a mack engine but it is hard on the starter and alter.They have a shorter life Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37829-fuel-filter-location/#findComment-268364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
