Gday Terry
I've got a 200 series ttd and use a secondary fuel filter 5 micron with no problems only thing having it as a secondary is you need to make sure the area is clean from dust when you replace the filter I brought it through Diesel care came with all the parts needed to fit including bracket worthwhile giving them a call as they were very helpful on the phone with the best set up.
If you can log on to lcool heaps of imfo on their about a 2nd fuel filter.

Terry, there has been many discussions about this topic as a search of the forum will reveal. Threads 100706 and 100622 are good examples. I am using the Terrain tamer fuel manager filter system which is fitted after the factory filter on my 2009, 79 series V8 ute. I have had no problems with fuel pump cavitation, lack of power or loss of fuel pressure nor have I heard these stories on the forum. My vehicle is also chipped and tuned to provide optimal power conditions when towing.

I have heard a lot of stories about contaminated fuel and the failure of the OEM filter to prevent water getting into the motor. I got a funnel full of crap from a fuel drum at Well 23 a few years ago which would have been all but fatal to my engine had it not been for my Mr Funnel. That prompted the move to the extra filter. Mine is aft of the OEM filter to let the OEM do its job as intended. The fuel manager is then the backstop.

Just ensure that you have adequate hose diameter at fitment and anywhere the pipe might pinch or bend when fitting into the tight Toyota engine bay, use the spring-wire hose maintainers.

Hi Terry,
I have a 2007 V8 VDJ79 Workmate ute.
I fitted a Stanadyne 2 micron with a primer-pump (fits on top of the unit), filter change kit (= flag pops up to indicate needs changing), and a glass bowl for $440 (trade, July 2012). I fitted it behind the main tank and it is plumbed in so that fuel flows through this one to the Toyota filter situated between the 2 batteries. No room under the bonnet for the second one. The other day I noticed the motor lacking a bit of power so I checked the flag and it had popped up. I keep records: it had filtered 2014 lts for 15,120 kms (=7.5kms/lt). The filter is easy to change.
Some of that fuel was bought at Laverton, Warburton, Kiwirrkurra, Carnegie and Menzies on a recent desert trip (5,000kms).
I cut open the filter - it was black, but there was no sediment in the bowl.
Interestingly, in the service book there is no mention of when to change the fuel filter! I guess when the dash light illuminates. Though I'll probably never have to change it because of the Stanadyne. I bought it in Perth from United Fuel injection (no affiliation).

Well gents first up thank you all for your time and information, (Markthemilco) I sent you a pm and thank you for your comments . (DBNO5) Harvey tried to send you a pm to but could not ,but will either catch you down the street or come around very interested in seeing what your set up will be like . have to leave will follow this up thanks terry

Well gents thank you again I did not leave the discussion after just gaining what info I could from you all.I had to wait on a couple of reply' s.One being from Diesel care ,after asking you all and communicating with them at ( Diesel care), it looks like the Stanadyne
filtering system will be the way I will go .I received prices back for secondary filter kitat $317 .00 plus $25.00 postage to Tassy .The additional water warning light is $230.00.Not sure yet but assume this is for the FM100 Series - up to 350HP Max fuel flow (inc. return flow) 300 Litres/hour.At least hope so not sure yet is the water warning light can be brought separately or not.
Thank you all again gents for both your time and help thanks
Terry
