    The value of dual fuel filters

    The pic below is of the filtration elements from the two fuel filters just taken off my car. Standard factory type (Ryco Z332) on left, & the CAV type filter element I fitted as a pre filter on the right.

    Both had been fitted at the same time about 12000kms ago, including our recent 10,000'ish desert trip.



    On this basis I think in future I will change the pre-filter every 10,000kms & the standard filter every 20,000

    Neither filter had any water in them.
