So I finally got around to changing the filters on the MF35 with a Perkins. These filters and canisters were horrible, perhaps 15 years old or older!! After cleaning the canister some I discovered why it had a slow leak, I thought it was gasket related. Well it seems the water mix in bottom caused major corrosion and a few pin holes.
This is a CAV filter unit, and some aftermarket systems use a can style filter with a glass bowl under it. Besides finding a good used unit or a new one, how could this be repaired? It appears it was repaired before with silver solder or some such around the drain bolt. I have even thought about jb weld just to try it. I have never silver soldered or brazed anything and could give that a try.
What do yall think?
