lol skippy like old mate I'm running out of room in the engine bay...but Evan though I can see the merit in having the finer filter after oem I can also see merit in keeping the system clean pre oem filter and to be honest if that means more regular filter changes with the secondary filter I'm not phased ...and will jst leave the oem filter changes at the intended change intervals...an if the secodary filter keeps clogging up then I know it's doing its job...viking shippy wrote:brodical wrote:What was the cost old fart??

Have you ever thought that great minds think alike.
Many of us professionals come to the same conclusion
Off our own batt every day of the week
Especially when it's not rocket science....
it's first year basic filtration principles....
It's manufacturers,salespeople and noobs
That try to complicate things...

If I may... I am a little perplexed by your methodology and concerns.
The link above is a pre filter (11um according to the spec sheet). So definitely before the factory filter is where it belongs.
........etc, etc, etc.
Cowboy Dave wrote:I think the water separation part of this might be important too. If the Donaldson has better water separation than factory and saves the water from getting through then it's probably worth it for that alone.
Also important to remember that his is a tray back so has a lot more room to mount a filter at the tank end.
I still have a Donaldson setup at home that I bought from a forum sponsor - that was also designed to be a pre-filter. In the end though I went with the 2 micron post OEM and the pre-filter is sitting in a box.
Max Flow rate : 45 GPH (170 LPH) ;
Fuel Port Size : 3/8"-18 NPTF ; 4 Ports 2 Inlets & 2 Outlets. Height: 23.6 Cm ; Width: 11.4 Cm ; Depth: 12.1 Cm
Water Removal Efficiency 99 %
Feature a hand (palm) operated fuel priming pump which simplifies service procedures and yields extremely low flow resistance due to its unique pump bypass characteristic. 445R filters have multiple fuel ports (two inlets and two outlets), a unitized mounting bracket for installation convenience, 3/8"-18 NPTF inlet and outlet ports threads, and provide flexibility during mounting to fit any engine application.
Additional 400 Series features include spin-on, high-capacity, Aquabloc®II replaceable filter elements which stop water, remove solid contamination, and are available in 2, 10, and 30 micron. Filtration needs should be based on application, fuel quality, operating climates, and maintenance schedules. Also included are spin-on contaminant collection bowls. The clear bowls used with these filters will not discolor from alcohol, additives, or UV light and have a leak-proof, positive seal, self-venting drain for easy servicing. Water and contamination levels can be seen easily at a glance.

Why not just buy a second Donaldson filter at 2lm and mount it between your oem and your existing 10lm.....then you will have best of both worlds....yes the oem will be doing well not much and just coming along for the warranty ride..that you could change at the given service routine along with your Donaldson set up ....you will have a setup that trucks and boats have been using for years...with a bonus 3x the water traps....and filtration...
