Pre-pump filter
 
Finally installed the Racor PS-120 on my diy VO system. This is 200mic with SS reusuable element.

cool...not a bad price for them either. You gonna make some typeof deflection plate, so road debris dont crack/break the cannister?

Its probably gonna get a coolant wrap and insulated bootie on it. This was a temporary install for my truck. I'm going to re-plumb my whole system soon, but wanted some time running it before I put it on a couple other conversions I have coming up. The thing is pretty dang tough though - I'm betting it would take a few good blows before breaking. :-X22

yup, it does look stout. I'm still have good/great success with the Fleetfilter base/filter combo. Does help its all contained in a box, in the bed....:-X22

Jason, you mentioned about re-plumbing your system. Why's that? I've noticed lately / recently, the amount of bio-lines i've got routed...(mostly aluminum tubing though), have seen better days...(not plyable as they were). Is that the reason and if so, i guess i should get in there soon?

My veggie system still works fine - even after almost 200,000 miles. :-X22 I'm just doing a few things differently these days (CV's relocated from the heads for one) and I have changed fuel pumps, etc a couple times - because I thought Raptor/FASS/etc was 'better' than the OE PSD pump (WRONG!). So stuff isn't laid out as neatly as I'd like it under the truck.

If ya notice, I didn't even paint the bracket I whipped up for this filter...:-X15 This was VERY hard for me, but I knew if I made something 'temporary' and made it look good it would be even harder to change it! :-roll It's hard enough to change it now because it WORKS!!! I'd just like to be able to show people 'This is what your's will look like when I'm done'.

I have the SAME aluminum TIH lines I used on my original install back in '06 and all the same PTFE-lined SS braided hoses I used on the engine when I got rid of the 'rubber hoses' in Jan '07. I did change the copper tubing on my coolant-heated filter wrap, but it didn't have any issues. :-X22
