Great input Hodge, thanks heaps mate, that's exactly the info I was after. Have you done the spill line mod?
Rock Trol - When i spoke with Dieselcare this morning, they mentioned there were two variants of the same filter (one shorter and one longer), but both performed the same. I wanted to know sizes to make sure it was going to fit. Both were the same 2 micron size secondary setups. In one of the forum posts I read from 4x4patrol.com, a guy posted a link to this site which had several of the filters available for cheaper - maybe you could switch out to one of these with a higher flow rate than the one you had fitted?
Personally, Im going to get the kit like Hodge has. Driver side secondary, 2 micron size.
I dont know anything about fluid dynamics, but I would have thought that if the filter allowed sufficient flow rate that exceeded the fuel system requirements, then it should not affect performance, nor make the pump work outside it's design limits. Having said that, with a Lift Pump installed, I can see that some extra pressure down the line would make the injector pump's life easier, and perhaps it's longevity might be increased.
