Nicktane 1 Micron Synthetic Filter - Any way to make it fit on CAT 2 micron base?

Hey all,

I'm planning on ordering a Nicktane fuel filter kit for my friend. Was also thinking of ordering a 1 micron filter for myself; I have the CAT kit in my car. But looking at the Nicktane site, the 1 micron filter is a different thread than the CAT (Nicktane filter is 1"-12, CAT is 1"-14).

So the 1 micron filter won't fit on the CAT base. But is there any way to make it fit? I don't suppose the Nicktane 1"-12 filter nipple would fit on the CAT base? Maybe by chance the thread on the Nicktane and CAT bases is the same, and they are interchangeable? I'm not sure.

If no one knows the answer, maybe I'll take out my fuel filter tomorrow and give it a check. But hopefully someone has had this idea before!

Cheers,
Blake

That nipple is what you need. The threading is the same in both the CAT or 1micron bases, and the nipple acts as the adaptor to either the CAT or Nicktane filter.

I didn't realize that the nipple was the only difference between the 1-micron and 2-micron filter heads. That is good to know, even though I don't plan on ever switching from the CAT 2-micron filters.
