Hi Barry, See I didnt answer this e-mail properly. The fuel filters are basically the same as the oil filters although slightly different. They differ in that while the oil filter has a 50 thou orifice in the inlet opening to drop the oil velocity and to prevent channeling the fuel filter entry is is the same or bigger than the fuel line size so there is no restriction and fuel can progress unrestricted. They also have a cock or tap on the bottom so you can drain them occasionally or every so often, to remove the water which tends to settle out, especially when idle or sitting for a while, and for taking fuel samples for visual examination and inspection. As such the filter element will not fit the canisters you mention. Nevertheless when fitted in conjunction with these as the final filter with a diesel they will give you superfine filtration removing the asphaltine particles and other fine contaminants present in all diesel fuel which are the biggest cause of soot (carbon) and exhaust emissions. When fitted together with a by-pass oil filter they help prevent carbon particles entering the crankcase oil to quite a large degree in the first place and thus help to achieve the cleanest system possible and extended oil and engine life. Both MIL-MAC oil and fuel filters will work exceedingly well on this type of vehicle. There is also generally plenty of room for fitting them and easy access. I can assure you that you will be very happy if you fit them. B.r., David

Do you use the same filter for fuel as well as oil? What are the demensions of the element? I dive a toyota 4wd diesel with standard fuel filter element in the metal canaster used by toyota, mitsubishi and daihatsu diesels. Can I make a Mil-Mac filter element fit in one of those? > > Regards > Barryt Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html To unsubscribe, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
