So why should you fit a Diesel Care fuel filter kit<\/a><\/strong> to your 4WD? Dirty diesel is in plague proportions around the country, and comes from two different sources. The first is rust, dirt and even algae that builds up in old tanks. Typically, this settles right at the bottom of the underground tanks at the service station, but when the tanks are being filled by a truck, this gunk stirs right up through the entire tank and can very easily make its way through the bowser into your vehicle.<\/p>\n The other reason why it\u2019s so vital to protect yourself with a 4WD fuel filter kit<\/strong> <\/a>is that water in diesel is a massive issue too. Water, when introduced into a modern common-rail diesel fuel injection system, will within a matter of days create serious amounts of rust within the system. By the stage that rust has formed, you\u2019re looking at serious repair bills to rebuild injector pumps and replace injectors. On something like a V8 Landcruiser, with its eight injectors and complex injector pump, that can easily put the repair bill up at $10,000 or more. You\u2019d be lucky to get away with a bill of less than $6,000 if you drove a four-cylinder turbo-diesel ute or wagon. That\u2019s a repair bill no-one can afford!<\/p>\n Diesel Care fuel filter kits<\/a> <\/strong>are available in either 30 micron, 5 micron or 2 micron formats depending on your vehicle. A 30 micron fuel filter kit is designed to fit before your factory fuel filter, and filter out the larger chunks of gunk that could make their way up towards your engine, prolonging the life of your factory fuel filter. A 5 micron fuel filter kit or even a 2 micron fuel filter kit are designed to run after your factory fuel filter, as a last line of defence before your injector pump and injectors. It\u2019s up to you which 4WD fuel filter kit<\/a><\/strong> you choose, but it\u2019s vital that you do fit one to your vehicle.<\/p>\n What makes the Diesel Care fuel filter kits<\/a><\/strong> brilliant is that they are designed to suit specific vehicles, and come with vehicle-specific brackets, hoses and clamps to make installation a breeze. Diesel Care<\/strong><\/a> have spent a lot of time engineering their kits to fit as easily as possible, so that as many 4WDers as possible will run them and protect their engines.<\/p>\n And here\u2019s a final scary parting thought for you, if you\u2019re wondering if you actually need an aftermarket fuel filter kit for your 4WD. Maybe you think you\u2019ll be okay because you fill up from that brand-new service station that just got built. Industry practice is to fill the underground tanks with water when fitting them, and while most of that water is sucked out before the first fill, hundreds of litres of water is left in the bottom of the tank. The fuel companies assume that it\u2019ll just dissipate with the first couple of complete fills of the underground tank, but where do you reckon it goes? That\u2019s right, into our own fuel tanks when we fill up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do yourself and your pride and joy a favour.
