Best place or not?

I've found Mann and Blueprint to be the best, steer clear of the Milners BOSHI junk :doh

I dont use a conventional one now though, I've binned all the stadard primer junk etc and now use a clear glass bulb that cost £2 each

[zippy656]

Got a photograph banshee??

What you do about water in the fuel?

I also run Mann filters but someone suggested to me my running issue could be naff filter, I suggest getting a genuine nissan fuel filter for another fiver :thumb2

And the rest, Nearly £50 for a genuine one for mine, but the oil filters are only a few pounds more.

Got a blueprint one on mine & it's been fine think it was about £8 from local car shop

Bad move, as zippy says what about water, get water in your pump and it is a new pump end of story, the original filter could cope with around a small cup full but would trigger the warning light much sooner, and do not say you don't have water cos you do unless you keep your tank full 100% of the time, condensation is the culprit and produces loads at very low tank levels, Rick

agreed rick but my filter is set so water sits away from outlet to ip.if i get any i can see it.

Here's my setup

Thinking on what Rick has said he has a very good point and I've never really thought about that, and that may be the reason why when I've been running round on 1/4 a tank after its been sitting for a while why I get shitty running and haven't been able to diagnose it yet!!!!!!

Thats what I love about this forum :clap

Rick, would one of these work? It's crucial I see whats going on when using BioFuels/SVO /WVO etc etc

Banshee, Nissan have a nice system for that fitted as standard.

[panelbeater]

banshee,if you level filter out the water/crap if any sits below the internal filter outlet to ip.
mine are twice the size of yours and red and clear,about the same price though.

[solarman216]

Yes Banshee that filter is much better, just make sure the element is OK for thicker fuel as it is labeled for petrol, Rick

[panelbeater]

if you want a different unite go for a cav with glass bowl drain off for derv,cheap enough and easy to fit as i had a twin unit on my old boat.

Can't remember what make mine is but it's off a tractor. Clear bowl and water drain off. Filters a few bob a go . I use an outboard engine primer bulb. So far so good and using Bio too ;)

Only problem with that is you loose your primer, run out of fuel and you'd better be good at sucking :lol
