Filters, everybody asks about these so that’s the reason for this post.

These are the filters that I use:

Note* Before I run my oil through these filters, I shirt filter them to get a look at the oil and get the biggest sludge out before I clog my filters and to look for water contamination.

Part Detail

During the Mixing stage where the #2 and oil is mixed I run through a C-50 Firomatic filter with an RC-30 element.

Note* I had to call Highfield at 1-203-384-2281 for prices and they give a list and a multiplier to get the actual prices, the list price is much higher then the actual cost. I got a C-50 filter and about 8 RC-30 elements from work that we were trashing, that’s why I have and am using them. I think these are rated for 10 microns. Not sure though that’s why I am just using these during the mixing process just in case something big gets in my fuel somehow.

C-50 filter at Highfield Manufacturing Corporation

RC-30 replacement Cartridge at Highfield Manufacturing Corporation

Again these are what I use. Those of you that use other filters please post up prices, pt#’s and any other info on the filters you use so we can simply refer all filter questions here.

When I installed my aux fuel tank, I used the Perma-cool fuel filter housing and filter as sold by Summit Racing. Nothing wrong with, it works good.

When I did the pre-pump filter, I bought the housing and filters from Fleetfilter for a much lower price for the exact same housing (i.e. $20 vs. $35).

I also did a survey of most spin-on fuel filters using the Fleetfilter.com site and Wix/Napa filters and put most of the relevant data into an Excel spreadsheet.

Since I can't post the spreadsheet directly here, I'll post my Pre-Pump Filter paper, a portion of the spreadsheet is on page 4; the example in the paper only has those fuel filters with 1"-14 threads.

If anyone would like a copy of the original spreadsheet with all the fuel filter data I collected, please PM my your e-mail address.
