DieselCare fuel manager filter - GU ZD30

[skiman]

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.

I might try and swap the filters at the place I bought them from as they are still in the sealed packs. If the short ones fit I might have a go at installing it again in the same position Hodge has his. I had an extra 2 metres of fuel hose on mine due to its location (one side of engine bay and back again) which would have caused drag.

Thanks Hodge. Do you use the short filters?
From your pictures they look shorter than the ones supplied with my unit.

I have no idea mate. I'll be honest and say, don't know what the difference is ? Here is a better picture if it helps.

No dramas mate hope it helps. I have not done the spill line mod, as at this moment I don't even know much about it. But will do some reading on it now, as I will research into this lift pump mod too.

They are the shorter filter. I think I will swap to them.
Did you make the bracket (alloy) yourself or did it come in a kit? Does it use existing bolts on the guard or did you have to drill new ones?

[Hodge]

Everything arrived in the kit, including the bracket, hoses etc... I cannot remember the bolts & nuts... I'll say they were in the pack too, but don't quote me on that.

Here you go Rock Trol - http://www.dieselcare.com.au/filtration-systems

I believe DCS021 is the part number for the secondary patrol kit for driver side that includes all the hardware

[Hodge]

I'll see if I can find my original receipt tomorrow. From memory it listed all parts included with instructions.

[Rock Trol]

Thanks guys. I might give them a call and see if they do the bracket only. I still have the FM.
