Which electrode is used to weld stainless steel to carbon steel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the type of stainless steel. Stainless steels come in various compositions and are identified by numbers and letters. Electrodes should be chosen that match these. For example when welding 316 stainless use type 316 electrodes. In a lot of situations you can safely use the next higher number. 304 stainless can be welded with 308 electrodes, 308 stainless with 310 electrodes. 309 electrodes are generally used to weld stainless to carbon steel.

The fuel pump will be located on the left front side of the engine, right behind the harmonic balancer. The power steering assembly will have to be removed to gain access to the pump. It will have three lines going to it, and two bolts holding it on.

Where is the fuel filter located on a Ford E 350 diesel?

Asked by Wiki User

It is in the center of the throttle body. It must be unscrewed after removing all hardware.

Diesel does not have a throttle body. on 6.0L one is on the frame on driver side and the secondary filter is on the top front center of the engine behind the charge air cooler tube ( use a 1/2in ratchet in the top of the cap)

on 7.3L PS engine mounted top front center

How do you replace fuel pump on Chevy 2000 Express conversion van?

Answer

The fuel pump is in the gas tank. It is not easy , first before you do it make sure that is the problem.Get a auto manual if your not up to it take it to a good repair shop and be ready to pay $600.00 to $700.00 to have it done.

on those vans the conections usually go bad before the pump,check the wires under the van by the front of gas tank.this happend to me.

The best way to tell if it's working, is to listen for a sort "whine" for about 5-10 seconds when first turning the key to the on position without trying to start the engine. The noise you hear is from the fuel pump in the gas tank.

Having driven several of these vans over several years, 99% of the time, the failure will be the pump itself.

As far as replacement, if it's a cargo van and you're not too concerned about the floor in the van, I measured and cut a hole with a hole saw over the gas tank (carefully) where the fuel pump is located. Then I could pull the pump. No dropping of the gas tank, but you will have to cover the hole and seal it so that no exhaust fumes can leak into the van. I used a thick piece of metal, gasket material and sealer with screws for the next time I might have to do this. You also have to be careful you don't puncture the top of gas tank and a spark from drilling into it could be a "Ka Boom"!

They were a common failure problem.

Honda Sedans have a plate over the fuel pump in the gas tank in the trunk. Makes for easy replacement. Their pumps aren't cheap though. About $175

It's in the fuel tank, and You need to go to a car parts store, and get arepair manual for your car.They cost about $16.00Or, go to a Public Library.

I have a 1993 Chevy pickup and plan to change the fuel pump. Many of my friends have do this task. The easiest way is to remove the ben of the truck. Simply remove the bolts holding the bed down and unplug the wiring harness and lift off with a couple of men. The fuel pump is in the tank. A locking ring needs to be rotated by using a hammer and a brass punch. Do not use a steel punch as a spark could ignite the gas. Remove pump and reverse directions.

Where is the fuel filter located and how do you replace it on a 1995 Fiat Punto 'M' reg?

Asked by Wiki User

it is located under the drivers side rear wheel arch. there is a small plastic cover over it. don't know how to remove cover but if you can figure out how to get it off you will see the fuel filter. it has a plastic lug at each end. push the lugs and the filter should come off. i think you might have to de-pressurize the fuel line first. if i figure out how to do that I'll let you know

Answerno need to de pressure fuel system first,just turn key onto ignition for a few minutes after fitting to allow pump to flow through.May take a few mins to start

How do you replace the fuel filter on a 1998 GMC Jimmy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it is in the same place as my '93, it is below the driver door on the inside of the chassis. Take two crescent wrenches, or two open-ends (I think they are 14mm), one side will keep the filter from moving, the other will loosen the fuel line. CAREFUL! Once you open the line, gas will come out of the line! Then loosen the side closest to the tank, and pull the sucker out. Most environmentalists cringe when they see you dumping fuel into the gutter, so be careful where you dispose of it.

Hello there;

-You should open 2 screw in front of air filter box

-Disconnect two air pipe connected to the box and a tiny pipe as well(these are very easy)

-Disconnecting the box from engine is the more difficult part of work you think that you must break some things so you have to pull the back part of the air filter box firmly ,I pull the right first and disconnect that then the left pin is easyer(there are two pin which keep this box on the engine)

-Underneath of the box are 10 screw that you need to open them to reach air filter(you need a long wrench,about 5 cm length which i bought from Pound Land or a simple screw driver)

-The rest is very simple

Apologies if this is not same as UK types.Remove the plastic engine top cover by undoing 3 torx30 screws.You should then see a aluminum housing with a black plastic top.You need a 36mm socket to unscrew the top,the paper filter element is then exposed.Replace the filter and use a torque wrench to tighten the plastic top,torque value is only 25Nm,usually this value is moulded into the lid.

Where is your fuel filter located on your 1985 Nissan pickup?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I see this question all the time. People the fuel filter is always located between the fuel tank and the engine. Get down under the car and start at the fuel tank. Follow the fuel line forward. You will find the filter. There are a few exceptions, as in a Dodge Neon, which has the filter located in the fuel tank. ==actual location==== Or you can look towards the back of the fuel tank on the passanger side. The fuel pump is mounted between the fuel tank and the side of the truck. It feeds right into the fuel filter.

How do you change the fuel filter on a 2000-2005 Ford Taurus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try the "Related Link" below to the Autozone / Chiltons repair guide for the 2000-2005 Taurus fuel filter instructions.

Be sure to review the precautions & advice in the repair guide.

Typically it can be found attached to the frame on the passenger's side, underneath the seating area near the door or edge of the vehicle. It may have metal shield surrounding it. (NOTE: Always remember to relieve the fuel pressure before attempting any work on the fuel lines!)

Its under the passenger side rear door....

The fuel filter is underneath the body undercarriage, just follow the fuel line to the gas tank and you will see it under near the rear of the car near the tire strut.

You will need to jack up the RR corner of the vehicle to reach it. The fuel filter is fastened with a big clamp to the right side frame rail, close to the fuel tank, just ahead of the RR wheel. Use a small flat screwdriver to remove the two plastic clips from the lines attached to the filter. Be careful, the lines are under pressure, and there will be fuel that will spray out as you unplug the lines from the filter. Use a flat screwdriver to loosen the clamo from the body of the filter and then you can remove and replace the filter. Install the new plastic line clips that are in the box with the filter into the lines and then plug the lines onto the filter until you hear them click in place.

on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel you will see underneath just need flathead screwdriver pop the clips take the clamp loose and there you go.

on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel you will see underneath just need flathead screwdriver pop the clips take the clamp loose and there you go.

No there is only one, and it is on the underside of the car fastened to the right frame rail, back near the fuel tank.

Stop!!!

Dont use a screwdriver to remove the clips when removing the gas filter , as most people break them . These clips are easy to find for the older Taurus but the 2004 and newer are tough to find ,forget the dealer for these..

To remove the clip push down on the center of the top of the clip (not hard with nail ,pen or punch) this spreads the jaws of the clip. You can then slide the hose easily off while doing this at the same time. NO Damage . Who says you need a special tool. If you break a clip try NAPA NCK11 for the small one ,but there are about 3 or 4 types depending on the Model year. To put the hose back on the new filter, just press it on until you hear the clicking sound. Dont remove the clip from the hose end, it has a taper and is meant to be installed this way.
