I hope this is the right place to ask this ?. setting up a fuel truck need a filter set the ones we are using are now $450. us is there a cheaper one out there [we are using 2 mioncron filters in ours ] thanks ron
A little more info or maybe even a picture would help someone give you useful information. Like is the 1 1/2" the pipe thread size on the filter head? What does this filter supply fuel to? How many gallons per minute do you need to pump/filter. Maybe even a make and part number of the ones you are using now?
2 micron on a fuel truck seems awful tight to me....on the engine as a secondary I can see it. 1-1/2" as in inlet and outlet? Good lord $450? How long they last?
Don't know if it's legal, but in the past I used standard hydraulic filter heads and spin on filters, Zinga is good you can get 3 micron. I used to run two in series, the first was a 10 micron "Aqua-Zorb" to trap water and then a 3 micron synthetic media, both set to no bypass, the pumps we used would deadhead without a problem so when the filter clogged up fuel would just stop flowing. http://www.zinga.com/
sorry 1 1/2 " pipe thread for fuel on mobil truck [ use cim-tek centurion ii filters on other pumps ] ron
60 gpm 50psi
The setup I mentioned, two hydraulic filter heads, two spin on filters, 80GPM at 200 psi max, you could get the pieces for about $150 plus shipping. Replacement filters run $35-$40 typically. Racor was always the gold standard on the tugs I worked if you have to have something mainstream though.
thanks I will look in to the racor as it will be handle the psi and gpm and the price is good don't care about legal
