| One of the 180's has the sediment bowl and shutoff under the tank. I decided it was time to move it for outside access. I am going to replace the spin on fuel filter with the glass filter. Any need to keep the sediment bowl other than to make use of the shut off? Thanks...Dale |

 like you i would like to have the enginer that decided to put it under the tank change it a few times. I moved the sedimt bowel out and down to get to it if your going to the glass filter i would change the shut off to a quarter turn valve then the bowel cant freeze and bust------------- You can wash the dirt off the body but you can’t wash the farmer out of the heart and soul |

| It is difficult to reach. Requires removing a small side panel on the right side to get to it. The sediment bowl is functional, though. My 185 had sat for about 6 years before I bought it. I was able to drain some sediment from the bottom of the tank. Kept it from going into the fuel filters. |

My One-seventy is the same way and is a PITA to get to. I always like to shut off the gas if it sits for more than a couple of days so I installed a shut off just before the carburetor to keep my cussing at a minimum. ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |
