Description of Change: A new secondary fuel filter base assembly has been released. The new fuel filter base assembly improves reliability and performance of the 3176C and 3196 Engines in the above machines.

Adaptable To: The new 238-6780 Fuel Filter Base Assembly is a direct replacement with the older 145-1780 Base Assembly. If the 145-1780 Base Assembly is replaced with the newer 238-6780 Fuel Filter Base Assembly, the fuel manifold does not need to be replaced. The new base is effective with the 3176C (S/N: 3PD6000-UP) and the 3196 (S/N: 5ED1741-UP) Engines. The 145-1780 Base Assembly has been cancelled and replaced by the 238-6780 Fuel Filter Base Assembly.
