Secondary Filter

Quino,
I've got a secondary filter on my 4.2 GQ, the cost was about $100 for the filter set up with a water glass and filter on top, made by Lucas, I fitted it myself and clean it out about every 2000ks, the filters cost about a quarter of the price of the normal Nissan fuel filter and are easy to change. I bolted it onto the side of the auxillary battery carrier, works for me and took about an hour and a half to fit, make sure you get the right hoses this is important, water hose won't work. I have found crap in the filter plus when on a trip and using dubious fuel supplies it's easier to see water and other foriegn stuff in the glass bowl, easy to clean. I always carry a spare filter in a sealed box in the vehicle. My opinion as usual.Keep the shiny side up

Hi Quino,
Unlike most I fitted an after market sub tank of 90ltr from outback systems (opposite lock). After a few probs with the pump over I fitted a cheap petrol filter on the inlet side of the transfer pump and each time I service the vehicle I change it, so far 30k it has managed to do the job & on inspection each time when changed I have only once found it to have some gunk trapped. I also have a replacement CAV system fitted (the kit type) where the nissan filter system was. You can then see if there is any gunk in the glass bowl easily, at about $5 to $9 per filter change it's a lot cheaper. This unit is available from most after market stores including opposite lock for a little over $100.

I agree with the last reply with putting in a cheap filter. I fit inline filters before the main filter by just cutting into the rubber line and fitting it in situ, the right direction of course. I look after about 11 front end loaders that get fuel from some some shady containers and these inline filters have saved a lot of money. If they block up there is a couple of ways to over come them if you are in a bind and there is not another to replace it. Carry a peice of copper piping to fit inline or carry a spare. The last lot I got was for about $9 each and they work.

There is a couple of sizes to suit rubber hoses and a combination of end sizes, the last filter I used was Ryco Z14.

Just my opinion.
