Guest Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi all. Who knows where to buy a filter/water seperator for my new fuel tank. I think the common one is a cav filter? Any recommendations or other brands etc? Any recommendations of nice friendly helpful people who could sell me one of these. I am upgrading my tank so I can motor alot further.

wheels 543 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Skins, if you want the best, then Racor. Expensive. I am pretty sure there is one on Trademe at the mo, but didn't take any notice how big. Otherwise the CAV is a pretty decent unit and the filters are cheap but good.Checkout Trademe on those too, as they are always listed Link to post Share on other sites
w44vi 17 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yeah I have the racon filters at $50+GST each for just the filter it can get expensive to replace regularly Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 any reason why no one suggests the ryco marine filters? They are sooo much cheaper and from my eyes look the same. Definately the racor ones are the business but no way can I afford that. Given the one I have now basically does nothing It must still be an upgrade Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yeah I have the racon filters at $50+GST If that is the plain old drop in 1010 cartridge, then you need to shop around. That is expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Supercheap Autos for those Ryco cartridges that fit the Cav bodies. You will get 10 for $50 Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Stay away from Superheap Ryco and Fram. Garbage and it ain't cheap and it ain't super. Go to BNT and get their Fram and also ask if they have better than that. I can't remember where I got the last lot from. I bought a large boxful 5yrs back and they would have come from BNT or Transmissions and Diesels. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE FILTER(S) YOU CAN FIND. DONT SKIMP ON FILTRATION. Lets look at the word again - "filtration". Think about it? Filtration!! Now what does "filtration" mean to you guys? A Racor water seperator (or an equivalent brand) is the ONLY option. The filter element repels water, good micron rating etc etc. Fit a vacuum gauge with a drag pointer and learn how to use it properly. Go back to your tanks - keep the water out and get the water out! Elimate the environment for critters to party in. Link to post Share on other sites

And if you fit a 1/4 turn valve at the bottom of the glass bowl in place of the plug it's easy to drain the bowl & check for water or gunk & foreign objects. Fit that before you fit the whole Racor assembly. Link to post Share on other sites
