Didn't know whether to put this under the Kubota section or here.
I am thinking about replacing the factory fuel filter on my Kubota L300DT with this:
Fleetguard fuel filter/heater
or this:
FM100 from Stanadyne
Though I think I like the Fleetguard model better, I have no idea of its price and it may be too tall to fit where the Kubota filter is now. It is a unique design in that the filter resides upside down in a clear bowl thru which you can see how clogged the filter is--this could be invaluable in the winter. But it also has a heater so gelling problems should be all but eliminated, even if you use un-winterized fuel.
The Stanadyne model isn't all that bad, either. It has an optional heater and an optional clear water collection bowl. I think it can be had for around $80, complete with heater.
Bear in mind, I've had zero problems with the factory setup, so this could very well be a waste of money.
Opinions?
