Hi All,
Im in the process off fitting a by-pass oil filter to my GU4.2 patrol, I have searched the acrhives on this subject and found many answers. One in particular that I found was many suggested that the return from the by-pass filter could be done using the return line of the old vacuum pumps fitted to the back of the alternators.
This raised a question for me, where was the supply of oil for the vacuum pump coming from. I checked out an earlier GQ patrol and found the oil supply line was right next to the return line, in fact it is about 20mm away from the oil return for the vacuum pump. One is an 1/8bsp plug (oil supply)with a 5mm allen key required to remove it and the other is 3/8bsp plug(return line)
Through out the acrhives I've read that all take off's have been using the oil pressure sender unit, I guess the bottom line is can anyone see or know of a reason why I can not use the old supply oil feed to the vacuum pumps as my oil feed line to the by-pass filter.
This would make the installation much easier as both oil lines from the bypass filter would be right next door to each other.
Thanks
Gary
