filtration ?

I thought i had it all figured out. and was going to up grade to an airdog in november when my 5 years is up. but i saw this add in diesel power. ? is can the stock lift pump push fuel through this set up. and the price is very high.

I would go with a trusted Co like GDP rather than someone I knew very little about. And I was not impressed with their add that talked about nothing but the show quality looks. I want facts on flow and filtration not an add for how great it looks. JMO.

I would be interested to know who the manufacture for the filters are. And wouldn't mind getting my hands on the spec sheets to see how they compare.

They won't give you the Donaldson part numbers, I have asked..

Look at the link in my sig.. Its the same level of filtration as the XX, using GDP parts.

On a side note, the AD overall filtration is less than stock and can be beet by the Baldwin PF7977 in the OE canister.

AH64ID,

Are you running your stock fuel pump or has it been up graded to push the fuel through the 5 and 2 micor filters.

Thanks

I as well run a stock LP and push through the MK-2 2mic filter and the Baldwin 5 mic in stock location.

Ripping,

Donaldson makes a 2mic ELF7349

I just bought the kit from Vulcan performance. The intake manifold mount, filter, and big line kit were about $145. Came with a Donaldson filter (P551313), supposed to be 2mic, but I figured I can replace it with whatever I want later. Best deal I've found so far.

Sorry... I posted the wrong filter.... The ELF is a oil filter NOT fuel!!!

The 2 mic fuel filter is the P551313 sorry if I confused anyone!

Copied the wrong part number out of my excel file...

Not to mention it is pretty dang hard to beat the fuel/water seperation that is offered in the stock housing.
