12 valve fuel/water separator canister
« on: November 11, 2010, 01:56:49 am »
97' 12 valve

Was changing my fuel filter today and ran into an issue.  Got the canister out, cleaned, new filter in, and tightened her back up.  Primed the fuel system and started the truck, leak! 

Long story short, seems the actual canister had some brittle spots and where the lever for the drain is, it snapped off.  When that happened it took a chunk of the rim of the canister out, thus no seal and causing a leak.  I'm figuring I need a whole new canister and just hope I can get it. 

I called a Cummins dealer and they said all the parts around the top and canister were available for sale but those two were not.  We were thinking it must be a dodge part only then.  The part number he had for the canister was 3931584, the part number on the side of the canister is mopar 4882423.  I think the mopar part may be the filter but not sure.  I hope I'm not screwed here and the part is available. 

If anyone has any insight to this it would be greatly appreciated.  I just got this truck and its already out of commission, I just hope not for long.  Thanks!

Thanks for trying.  I had the same luck, which is none.  I'll be calling the dealer in the morning and keeping my fingers crossed.

Found another dealer in Tampa through the internet.  Said he can get the same part for $215.60. 

Called prime loc and left a message.  Called Geno's and they said prime loc stopped making the kit for the 97' a while ago. 

Looking like I'll have to buy the replacement housing.
