Well it looks like we will be the owners of a 1986 E- 38 on Thursday, Will load it on Saturday and depart for the Chesapeake on Sunday for Worton Creek. I am currently trying to obtain some spare fuel filter/ water separator filters for the trip as the tank was only 1/2 full for 14 months. I am having a hard time identifying the correct filter as the one currently on is not listed on the Racor sight. The engine is a universal 5432. Current sparer filter is R24SUL. filter on the engine is R24P. I am guessing I need a 24 series but don't know about the other designations "SUL" or "P". I am guessing it denotes the micron size? If I am correct what micron size would be suggested? I have a trip of over 400 NM and want to replace the existing fuel filter and take along about 4 spares. I was thinking replace with a 2 micron and take two additional 2 micron & one 10 micron. Should the fuel clog to readily I want the 10 as a backup. Any thoughts or additional information would be greatly appreciated.
