Yanmar 3tn 23 hp diesel
« on: December 11, 2007, 03:24:18 AM »
Just scored a Yanmar 3tn 23 hp diesel. 
It needs some micellaneous parts like exhaust studs, exhaust gasket set, and an air cleaner.

I was thinking that this might be an opportunity to simplify my existence;  since I am looking for
a better solution for an air and fuel filter for my 'roid, and since they use about the same amount of air, I
thought I might standardize on fuel and air filtration.  I did think about using the same filters I have for my Dodge
5.9 liter Cummins Turbodiesel....... but that's PROBABLY too much overkill even for me.

I am probably going to get an 87 Jetta fuel filter or three just to have a simple easy OTS filtration solution;  I'm told
that they just slip onto the fuel lines.  Done.

But I still need air filtration.  Suggestions?
Lister electric start; 20-2 listeroid; yanmar ts-50C; 82 volvo diesel; 90 dodge-cummins TD; case 580.

Sure. How about an air box and filter from a 1987 Jetta? Sounds silly, but the air filters are readily available, the box is better shaped than some for this purpose, and they are easy to service.



Have one on my Onan diesel.
Kubota EL300A-R 4hp 12v Generator
Kubota B6100 HST Compact Tractor
Onan RDJA 8hp
1994 Chev S10 w/Isuzu C223
All are diesel.
