Looking for HUP fuel line routing

[Bob Carriere]

Hi Rob

Yes......Duh we are still running our trucks on outnoard motor fuel tank.... first thing to go is memory....

Any chance we can..... snow permitting and 12 inches on the way.... find the information from the frames in the back field..... do you ahev a HUP back there that still has one or both tanks...?

I would suspect they are probably similar to the C15a.

I would suspect the fuel line from the cab 11/12 to go through the frame because the floor plate bolts on the frame.....but on a HUP and a cab 13 they may actually go over the frame since there is space provided........

Hang in there Les will figure it out or someone else will chime in.

Hey Les: I'll be out to the shop next weekend and can take some photos for you. I have to do some more photos for Jonathan Moore (Wales... A Plea For Help) so a few more won't be a fuss. Cheers.....Robert

Bob, Normally I would jump right on this, but as you know, we have a "fixation" in Hammond on a minor thing called "the weather". All joking aside, R. Morrison and others have been good enough provide this info, which is also illustrated in the C8A-HB2 manual available through Grant Bowker.

Hi Les

I've got some photos on my web site but unfortunately they are not key word described so the search feature won't find them. But I'll keep looking and I'm sure somebody will post photos soon.

But I have a question where is the fuel filter located? Because I believe there where two different locations which would change the routing of the lines.

The late HUPs like my 1945 have the filter bolted to the outer edge of the body so that it is on the inside of the body frame rail with a hole in the floor next to the drivers seat to unscrew the filter bowel.

While I'm unsure if the earlier ones had the fuel filter on the inside of the actual frame rail like on the larger CMPs.

Cheers Phil

Les, you crap all over me for my memory and you don't remember delivering Bob's truck? We used your (now mine) trailer and my orange Ford one ton and delivered that heavy beast to Hammond. It is still a fond memory for me because you bought lunch.

Ok thanks for your input everyone. I think I have figured it out. The 1943 Hup has the fuel filter on the inside of the frame near the battery box. I looked at 1500 weight CMP's and the routing is a little differant as the fuel line goes through the frame just a head of the tank. It seems that the HUP line goes along the back of the tank then up over the frame to the switching valve them to the fuel fillter.
