Revisiting ANOTHER bogus TD20 In-Tank Fuel Filter Part

[John Gragg]

Hi All,

So I found this on ebay, and once again find that the correct part number is being used by someone who I’m guessing is only guessing at the correct part #?

In this case, in contrast to the last time, the purchased part is TOO SMALL.

I’m not going to try to speak to the thread size, since I am really only interested in if anyone has any knowledge about which motors these erroneous parts belong to?

I sent the 1st ones back (with the porous stone filter) but now I’m arguing with ebay about the fault of the return. I got charged >$12 for the return shipping!

Does anyone recognize which motor this belongs to so I can both educate the seller and give some solid facts to ebay for when I return these?

The latest ones have the mesh screen filter, so they looked correct online. Of course, my absolute fault for not measuring mine because the seller did have a ruler next to his in his pictures.

Thanks!

Both sizes were used. I am not sure if a certain range of years had one or the other, but I’ve run into the same situation. I used a reducer bushing…

Thank you. No issues with fuel delivery/volume?

It runs just fine. Idles way down, throttles up just fine. I have spent a lot of hours trolling with it, and it has enough power to get you off the lake in a reasonable amount of time should the need arise.
