Darn -- hit Send too soon. The problem if you have a Racor 200FG, 500, 900, or 1000 filter is that the filter elements come only in 2, 10, and 30 microns. I haven't had any problems (yet) using 30 microns in the primary filter and 10 microns in the secondary filter. I'd prefer to have a 2 micron in the secondary but it's part of the Perkins engine itself and takes a Fram C1191A cartridge, which cross-indexes to Wix 33166 and six or seven others that I've found. Anyone know of a 2-micron equivalent to the C1191A?
