I just changed the fuel filters on my L3301, what a bpia it is to get to the shutoff valve and get tha filter bowl off. ( Sure not as easy as my L3010 GST that I wish I still had!)
Anyway does anyone know of a bracket to relocate it to a place that is easier to get to?
Thank you!

Don

Made my own bracket from flat stock to go where it fit best, a few barb connectors, some hose, couple of shutoff valves to isolate the filter, good to go. Now I just raise the bonnet and both filters are in easy reach.

I can’t answer your question directly, but keep in mind this;

If you can get to it easliy…..So can a stick….

I only had about 3 hours on my machine when it suddenly died……I was like “WTF????"

Then I looked down and saw my fuel filter and cracked bowl, laying on the deck.

I ended up making a “cage” for it, so it’s "all good" now, but just something to keep in mind.. (y) (y) (y)

A manufacturer's engineering and cost reasons did not include our convenience.
…or their own.
My comment was intended to bring to mind the cost-to-benefit ratio of an item so rarely serviced.
