Fuel Filters for D2 and 212

The fuel filters are a Wix #33164 or Napa #3164. Also a Baldwin #F919-C.
About $10.00 ea. on the former and I've heard $6.00 on the Baldwin.

You'll probably have to get the gaskets from Cat.

While the subject is up. What about the part number (CAT) and (NAPA/WIX) for the full flow oil filter that would be on a D-2 J series?

The last time I was in my local NAPA store I asked about the 3164 filter. They did not have any and availability was sketchy. I think they quoted the price at $10-11. I have been using their 1161 oil filters, they seem to stock them. They are $10-11. I wonder what Cat gets for them.

I am beginning to be real interested in these aftermarket guys, Florin in particular. Dana sold me some clutch cams for the D8 for $35 each. When I called to order them they listed at $105 each. They are Cat old stock. When I mentioned Dana's quote the gal said "I'll have Dana invoice the parts" I got them the next day, Great service.

My guess is that a lot of Cat dealers have disposed of a lot of their old parts and these guys like Florin have bought them up. If there are a lot of filters out there maybe we can negotiate a good price for them. I could use a lot of those fuel filters, the D8 uses 7 or 8 and I think the D4's use 4. I wonder if Baldwin is still making them.

This is where I get them. Its cheaper and they get them right out to you. http://www.bfwebexpress.com/

I use Icon (see above post) exclusively. I believe they have a 50 dollar minimum. Also by placing a (4) after the part number you get a set and the price drops even more.

When I was working yet at the dealer the fuel filters were not sold separatly but in a kit for each engine and included the gaskets to install them.As for today I don,t know how they,re sold.
