my centrifuge is on order!:jump:

great article on filters for the duramax

Duramax Fuel Filter, Duramax Diesel Fuel Filter, Duramax Fuel Filter Change

about half way down

"Research reported by sources such as Heavy Duty Trucking in an article entitled “Finer Filtration: Is it the Answer” (October 2003, page 86) and todaystrucking.com “Your Engine’s Tiny Problem” (October 2003) indicate that particles larger than seven microns can cause excessive wear in a high pressure fuel system such as the one in the Duramax. Both of these sources reference SAE Paper 980869 and Detroit Diesel Engine Requirements Manual 7SE70 0209"

What no link :pca1:

Interesting that opinions and statements are different on the other side of the pond.
Let me seek for the opposing european data sheet.
What does excessive wear mean in this case? No harm of 6 microns and smaller- or just wear...

ISO 19438:2003 Diesel fuel and petrol filters for internal combustion engines -- Filtration efficiency using particle counting and contaminant retention capacity

as for the failures in africa, how were they preparing the wmo before they burned it? im sure it wasnt "filtered through a goat skin" as someone put it (i admit i laughed), but were they filtering it or just mixing it in?

you said that it was already added to fuel at stations. im sure that whoever was adding it didnt care too much about the cleanliness of the fuel they were selling. when corrupt people want to make a profit, they usually dont care how they make it, or about the people they make it from.

im not arguing with you by the way. Im sure wmo did do lots of damage in africa, im just curious as to why it was so widespread there but seemingly not in other places

Because the rest of the world (speaking for europe) can neither afford a new injection pump nor injectors.
Africans simply do it because they have neither knowledge nor an idea what they do. Oil is oil, right? So they also use engine oil in their 2 stroke engines because engine oil is cheaper, or 2 stroke oil not available and , hey why not burning WMO-oil is oil, right? therefor they burn WMO in their diesels-fuel is fuel, right? The only minor disadvantage of engine oil is that it is not intended to burn.

So causes for that are different, but all of them are stupid or better expressed uneducated. (An air filter hinders air entrance- so why not getting rid of it? That is, as funny as it sounds, the way of thinking of african people)

But don't worry - we have them in the forum too :D

i'm sorry, where are my manners?

600RPM model with the "power Booster" add on

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

that one is open to interpretation. not sure my self. just thought it was interesting that it said "7 microns" which seems a bit high in my opinion

Do you mean 6kRPM? 600 seems slow.

your right, 6,000. just missed a "0"

I have been eying one of these up I would like to know how it works for MWO
