Fuel filter
Diameter Choose the size your bracket or space allows. Larger filter = More flow = More dirt can get stuck before the filter needs to be changed.
Micron 10μ is the best filtration and larger value gives worse filtration with better flow.

When should 100micron fuel filters be used?
100 micron is used as a pre-filter and is mounted before the fuel pump.
When should 10 micron fuel filters be used?
The 10 micron is used as a "main filter" and is mounted between the fuel pump and injectors.
Fuel filter has collapsed
When a fuel filter collapses, pressure or vacuum has overcome the structural restraint of the filter. This results in a filter element that collapses or pushes out depending on the design.
Causes of filter collapse
- Pressure surges / Pressure peak
- Not enough flow
Larger filter area = Better flow = More potential engine power = Can collect more dirt before flow restriction = Allows finer/better filtration without flow restriction
Smaller filter area = Poorer flow = Less potential engine power = Can't collect as much dirt before flow restriction = doesn't allow as fine filtration before flow restriction
Causes of dirt in the fuel system
- The work environment is not clean
- Dirt from fuel hoses = Fuel hoses are grinded instead of cutted = Rubber hoses are used instead of PTFE
- Dirt in fuel tank
- Dirt in catch tank
