61402-08A The dealer told me the -A- wasn't on the parts # but was the same. Hope he knows.

 

My understading that a part# followed with a "-A" is a next generation or modified/enhanced version of the original part.&nbsp\\; Perhaps Dawg or some of the pro wrench turners on this blog could clairify.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

 

Not for the gasket. Thats for the filter shell which is 62229-08A The gasket kit is the same since there nothing wrong with it.

 

The gasket is 61402-08. I did not change it as it is an o-ring just like the new derby cover o-ring and looked to be in great shape.&nbsp\\;I also did not change the fuel filter as the filter gets changed at the 25k service so I thought with 6k miles it must still be good and it looked good.&nbsp\\;All the o-rings in the pressure regulator that gets removed from the shell during the swapover can be reused as well. The only part I bought was the 62229-08A which is the shell.&nbsp\\;I also did not change any hoses or put any shields on them.&nbsp\\;It was really an extremely easy swapover and I didn't even completely remove the top plate or the wiring as you can see in the pics, I just let it sit on the edge with a rag on the tank. The part was taken off back order status, but now I see it is listed as on back order again, but no back order comments exist so I don't really know.

 

Looking at the proximity of the fuel canister. Is it possible to hit it with a fuel nozzle when you fill up your tank? Looks close and I guess I don't remember seeing anything in my tank that I could hit with the nozzle, but looks close?????

 

First off Dawg you the man, thanks for the info and the pictures.&nbsp\\; Hope I don't have to do this on the side of the road late one night.&nbsp\\; And many of us have wondered with a naked gas&nbsp\\;nozzle, could you bump and crack the filter shell canister?&nbsp\\; I carry the new part in the tour pack just in case, with a build date of 4/08, we will see.

 

Can't hit it with the nozzle, it's actually way off to the right. It just looks close when you pull it out.

 

Good that is one less thing to worry about, lol.&nbsp\\; Thanks again for the info and Pictures

 

i've changed quite a few of these at work (dealer tech). If fuel has been spraying, there's a good chance the o-ring for the shell is distorted. You can't buy it separate but it comes with the filter. I make it a habit to change the o-ring with every new shell. May not be required every time, but the piece of mind is priceless.
