Nancy,

If you have the original fuel pump on your Onan, It has a reusable filter in it that can be easily cleaned (the bottom of the pump comes off). If there is an in-line filter it has been added and should be a standard auto parts store item.

Most Onans have a "stone" like filter that can be cleaned with some kind of solvent... I used carb cleaner. I have also seen some with strainer screen type filters. They also can be cleaned.

There is a "bolt" shape on the bottom of the pump, a quarter turn it is off.

If you need to add a filter, it is a good idea to make sure it is METAL, not PLASTIC. (For fire issues. Shocked )

bottom?

Nancy,

Does it look like this...

Supposedly this type can be cleaned. Perhaps back flush with Simple Green (or similar) as a first start.

That is exactly the same filter that's in my Onan Facet pump and my airplane Facet pump. I check the airplane one once a year. The Onan one will get checked someday as I seldom use the Onan.

Same as in my just removed Onan. I have never found anything in it but it is so easy to remove that it's worth checking yearly.

Thanks guys!

I will ask Byron to update the Fire Prevention Guide on the Eastern States
website to note that the filter screen in the Onan fuel pump DON'T COUNT!

;-)
