Need Some Oil Filter Confrimation

    OK in dealing with a leak in one of the fittings going to my 134F style spin on bypass filter I got to second guessing myself as to which hose goes where with this type of system.

    It is on a 134L

    I currently have the line from the Galley behind the fuel pump location going to the center of the Filter adapter and then of course the other line going from the outside edge of the filter adapter to the Timing cover.

    Is this correct?

    The line from the galley goes to the outside top fitting, the center bottom fitting goes to the timing gear cover.

    So no, not correct :(

    Would actually probably work OK though. :rolleyes:

    Sounds like the canister. He has the spin on.

    When in doubt, look at the filter housing. The filtered oil should always come out the center of the filter with the unfiltered oil going in the outside. Many filters have an antidrainback valve in them so if you get backwards, you won't have any flow.

    Thanks guys looks like I had it plumbed backwards. Hopefully this will work better now that I have changed it around.
