Fuel filters on tanks

[Hard Graft]

We have a couple off fuel tanks and what to put canister filters on the tank but we are gravity fed I am struggling to find any
Also what spec off filters would you use

Won’t it be really slow filling a tractor out a gravity tank with a filter in the line aswell

Google "goldenrod filters" . Have one on a gravity system, works well.

probably but would you rather slow filling or water/dirt contamination and a 4k bill to sort a tractor out

On the generator at work there is a hydraulic filter in the line between the bulk tank and the generators internal tank. It stops any big lumps getting through while maintaining a decent flow.

i have sold a fair few fleetgaurd ones, both 10mircon and 30 micron both with water absorbing cores. I have one customer moaned about the flow so he uses the 30 micron and another customer has 2 x 10 micron teed together to give better flow.

I have customers with the same filters on pumps too but more on gravity fed.

This is what we have. Just changed the filter recently as flow had slowed.

Same filter here, not had a problem with any of my tractors for 20 years.

Please dont buy them they are rubbish, Vap sell the same ones. They always leak.

Thats a decent filter, but it should be up right not on it side really.

I used a gravity fed tank with a 10 micron filter a fair bit. Helped the tank was pretty high up mind. I was never in that much of a rush.

You don't get problems with fuel foaming and not being able to brim the tank with gravity fed

That's what I use its ok on my gravity fed 600 gallon tank which is maybe 5.5 ft off ground . Needs to keep more than 200 gallons in it for a good flow

I’ll give it a spin!

Yep good filter used to have problems with the square filters on a 6470 blocking ontill put one of those filters on the tank best thing ever

Goldenrod filters, partial filter followed by a water block filter, can't beat them IMO.

 

[Montexy]

That should be particle

I ended up with a prolube filter... looks like a groz or golden rod but I don't know if the filters are cross compatible. Struggling to find new filters for reasonable value, delivery kills it usually.

Golden rod worked well for me for 15 years or more, run 8 tractors, loaders and diggers from it and only ever had one filter block in one tractor since. Only for gravity though
