I need some fuel filter mounting ideas

[chris142]

Many years ago I mounted a water trap fuel filter on my truck. It's mounted to the fan shroud. Wix #33123 is the filter number.

I would like to move it to a more accessible place under the hood but I dont see a place with enough room for it. It needs to be mounted with the drain down.

Ideas? Pics?

What year is your truck?

87. Aren't they all about the same under the hood?

Serpentine belt opens up a bit more options, I mount my coolant filters off the alt bracket on serp trucks. For your 87, id build a bracket off the fuel filter bracket or put it on the frame

I would like to put it right next to my stock filter but I dont think I have room with ac,dipstick etc all right there.

I’ll grab a pic in the morning of a truck I have in the shop that’s an auto bricknose, I have a bracket on that I made for a coolant filter, you can look at it and see if it will work for your filter

It’s just the body style. Bullnose was 80-86. Bricknose was 87-91
