Filter is not listed as a Scout application how ever so you must have the correct number before ordering This number is E 9080 and is listed as a Renault application yet the dimensions are exactly the same as the original Tsuchiya filter I have approached K amp N about changing their catalog to list this filter for the Turbo Diesel Scout I have not heard back from them yet What is nice is the air filter that fits your Gas V 8 Scout fits any Diesel Scout that was built from 1976 to 1979 so getting an SD33 air filter is easy Want a K amp N for your SD33 E 1090 the same one for a Gas V 8 Scout easy huh Paper Air filters should be changed every 15 000 miles K amp N filters should be cleaned every 50 000 miles or sooner in dusty conditions Fuel Filters Here is a point that must not be taken lightly the fuel system is the heart and soul of the Diesel engine so it is also the most expensive part to fix if it breaks The best insurance against breakage is keeping the fuel system as clean as possible This is done with your fuel filters so don t skimp here Some Diesel Scouts have 2 fuel filters from the factory and some only have one The predominance of Diesel Scouts built from 1976 to 1979 had 2 fuel filters some say they were standard equipment and others say they were optional All I know is I haven t seen a 76 to 79 Diesel Scout that didn t have 2 filters The filters on the two filter system will ha

10. en at least 20 years since the last 345 engines were produced and years of mileage THE DIESEL FILE By JOHN DONNELLY Continued from page 1 1 Forget everything you ever learned about Gasoline powered engine because it doesn t apply anymore 2 You will have far less parts on your home parts shelf than you ever did with a gas engine 3 Although you are slower than a Gas Scout you will go farther with less trouble than any Gas Scout 4 The time spent under the hood of your Diesel will be spent polishing not fixing These are some of the benefits how you get there de pends on one crucial item mainte nance The Diesel engine is much longer lived than it s gas counterpart typically but that longevity comes at a price and that price is constant mechanical vigilance Here are some of the items that must be done without fail Oil changes A Oil should be only high quality diesel engine oil 15 40W or 30W grades are acceptable with the 15 40W Under John s hood lies an SD33 looking being a more all season oil Some like it came from the factory Continued on page 5 Integrity amp Honesty WHY I LOVE MY SCOUT BY LISHA CAMPBELL Page 3 Let s just say our first baby a 1979 Scout II started out as my vehicle It was and is exactly what I wanted It is an automatic with all the factory options not to mention it s beefy Everyone knows the feeling you get driving an Internat
