Diesel fuel Filter/Water Separator
Opinions on the Stanadyne FM10 with an inspection bowl and water drain. Would this cause increased wear on the lift pump?
It filters to 5 micorns, so the main filter should live a long time. Last edited by whunter; 06-29-2009 at 07:38 PM. Reason: dead links |

If you skip the see-through bowl, you can install the FM 10 for around $40. I have one (FM 10) on its way for my '82 300D.

I use a Racor in my 240D, basically similar to the Stanadyne model. I don't know about WVO though. I think a 5 or 1o micron filter might plug pretty fast. With the Racor, you can select from 2 or 3 different filter elements. http://www.marinefilters.com/productdetails.php?number1=4&modelnumber=W110A

I'd prefer to use a water separator from an isuzu NPR. It works very well since it does not filter fuel, just separates. The only down side is the $140 price from GMC dealers.

Why do I need one? Is it absolutely necessary? Will it really make my engine/IP last longer? Seems that Kent guy is a really good scare tactician with his descriptions. My opinion is it's a nice 'feel good' upgrade however not absolutely necessary, because if it were, you guessed it, it would have come factory-installed. Just my .02

I bought a Sunrooof repair kit and manual from him & when I called to ask for help his daughter had no idea and said Kent would be too busy to return a phone call. He never responded to my calls or to any emails . Yeah I'll be back to him REAL sooon. Makes sense that it would've been factory installed. and $120 is way high. Like I said WEst Marine has nice filters for 70- 90 $$ range. But for dispersing my water worries I will always depend on Startron diesel additive....

I agree with Old300, if you filter to a finer degree before you put the oil in the tank, and at a cooler temperature than your oil runs in the car you should not plug filters.
No reason to replace the stock filter with this one unless your diesel tank is full of muddy water. You can but allot of replacement stock filters for $120.

But I will be interested to see if I ever get any water out of the sump. Maybe it is a "feel good" upgrade. But I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. |
