Ok folks...Here is some info on the Stanadyne FM-100 W/2 micron filter.
I just did an autopsy an a filter that I had run for 15K miles....Sweet...I could have easily run another 10K miles without any problem. I decided to swap out this filter just so I could see for myself what was happening inside of the filter.
I'm running just the 2 micron Stanadyne filter. The OEM filter is simply a water can (I've removed the guts from the OEM filter) which I've retained the diverter valve so the injection pump can function without any likelyhood of cavitation problems.
I was very impressed with just how clean this filter was after 15K miles. Those of you that are considering to go with a better filter... No matter which brand or style you go with....its much better protection for your pump & injectors....BTW..I love that fuel heater in the Stanadyne FM-100...Sweeeet.
Remember....to keep your pump & injectors happy. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Feed them... clean, warm fuel.
