  • Second Fuel Filter/Water separator

    For those interested in fitting a second fuel filter/water separator I stole this idea from the 120 forum: http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...The-Full-Story

    If you buy all the parts from Cat as described in the fore mentioned post it will bolt straight in. Just ensure the drain port is clear of the inner guard, you may need to tighten the bowl half a turn to gain clearance.

    I choose not to use the banjo fittings, preferring to use Speed Flow AN fittings that I believe flow better and are a lot easier to acquire. Lastly I used a little less then a meter of 3/8 hose to join it all up.

    All up cost $170 and an hour of my time. Now it only has to prove its self.

    Looks good mate. What are the dimensions of the separator? I have my compressor installed on the guard near the oe fuel filter.

      The filter is 240mm long x 110mm deep x 100 wide. It ends up a little wider maybe 130mm after the fuel fittings are installed.

        Where did you get the cat filter from, which store. Also what were the speed fittings. Does the cat filters allow to have a water detector alarm?

          I'd suggest caterpillar is the place to buy the cat filter. Just give your local dealer a call.

            Yes downunder, as Wooley said the filter came from my local Cat dealer and the SPEED-FLOW fittings came from my local Speed shop. Just phone SPEED-FLOW and they will advise who in your local area stock their fittings.

              Are you aware that this filter assembly comes off a 2.5 lt engine?

                  Here ya go Matt hope this help.




                  Sean,
                  I am aware it it's fitted to 2.5 lt engines but I'm happy that others are using it with out issue. That said what I have not been able to find is the filter's rated flow rate. If anyone has knowledge or can find/direct me to this information it would help us all. For my mind, with the fittings I've used and the size of the inlet and outlets flow will not be a problem unless the filter element is highly restrictive.

                        Got the same filter set up fitted to 120 Prado for about a year. No probs at all.

                          Finally found the Spec's for the filter!

                          Wasn't hard to find once I knew who made it in the first place.

                              Repco sell these. They were in the last catalogue. They're very expensive though. $290 odd. The picture showed a hose barbs, hose, mounting bracket and spare filter element. The CAT route is cheaper for the same thing. There's a thread with the part numbers floating around.
