Hi,
I've read a little about bypass filters and was wondering if you have any comments positve or negative on fitting one to a turbo diesel GU patrol. Any particular one you recommend??
Thanks

G'day Austravel,
I have the Frantz unit on my '99 GU 4.2TD... I have no idea how it compares with other makes, but I can tell you that (IMO) the Frantz is a very
well made unit, in terms of quality of manufacture....
I bought
mine direct from the U.S.of A. ( www.wefilterit.com ) and the before/after-sales service was second to none!!
There is now a distributor in OZ (Melb.), details on aforementioned website, & I believe all parts & (most importantly) TP elements are available from him...
Fitting was a breeze, mounted
mine on the bracket where the vacuum reservoirs are (after moving one of said reservoirs)... Probably wouldn't fit in this location if you have dual batteries.... Oil Press. & return galleries are accessible on side of block (behind alternator)....
If you are considering a by-pass filter, then I would certainly recommend the Frantz... (this is not to say that others wouldn't be just as good)...
Regards, Ed. C.
