New Dual Tank Install....I have a question...?????

[ballencd]

Just about to install the second tank in my M1010. 6.2 Diesel engine. Looking at the valve I purchased there is a sticker on it that states "Warranty void if filter is not installed between the tank and the valve". The 6.2 vehicles (CUCV's) have a sock in the tank and the main filter in the engine bay. Has anyone installed a filter between the tank and the valve? Can I assume the sock is filter enough? Adding two (2) filters seems crazy. IMO.

I know you guys like pictures.....so here's one of the sticker.

And here's one for the filler neck I hope to use. It came from a M1009.

I would agree that adding two filters is a bit much....especially since the factory dual tank set-up doesn't have filters between the valve and tanks. I'd say the option is up to you. While adding filters wouldn't hurt, it would add a little time & money to the install. On the other hand, if your tanks and in-tank socks are in good shape, I think you would be just fine.

Just outta curiosity...how long is the warranty on the valve? And what part number valve is that?

I don't know the warranty on the valve. I got it from LMC awhile back and just now getting around to installing it.....mostly because I did not have a method to fill the right side. I hve some M1009 parts that I am going to try to make work for that. Here is the LMC info:
32-3293 Selector Valve Chevy GMC "D" 6 Port 81-89 $69.95

I think I will put it in without the filters before the valve. Both tanks are new in the last few months. Thanks for your thoughts.

You're welcome!

Yeah....you should be fine. Even if there is a chance something happens and you need it replaced under warranty, how would they really know that you didn't install filters?

With new tanks and socks there is no need for a filter imo.
I think they put that sticker on to avoid warranty claims when people change the valve on 40+ year fuel systems and it gets stuck after short time from dirt, rust and whatever.
