Ok fellas, the Cat 2 Micron Filter adapters are in. We need to get instructions wrote and OLD Navy will be installing one. We will then be ready to send them out. I hope it will be by the end of the week.

Remind me, this is a whole new filter assembly right, not just a new filter? Also are we looking at an inline with the existing one or a full replacement.

You will be using the exsisting head along with our adapter.

So basically an adapter to put the Cat 2 filter on the stock filter housing. All sensors will operate as normal including the WIF?

So if we are just replacing the filter we are still stuck with a poorly designed filter housing that breaks, leaks and sucks air?

NO the wif will not work. That was discussed at lenght in the original thread. But everything else stays intact.

Does water pass through these filters?

Water passes through all filters. If enough water it will cause the OEM filter to degrade and then you have a real problem.

What I mean- Is this filter considered a water seperator also? If not, you would have to run an additional filter right? BTW I checked cat's website and they do not mention filter's water sep characteristics.

What he is saying is that we do not have a water/fuel seperator filter with our OEM setup. Also if water containated it will start coming apart and enter the IP & injectors as mine is doing as we learned from our fuel sample test. If you want a water/fuel seperator you will have to plumb one in, I will most likely do that later.

We most certainly do. I have seen the water screen in the bottom of the oem filter. How well it works is up for debate but I do not think everyone can base that off of just your sample of fuel. Your sample of fuel was so bad to begin with. I would almost consider finding better fuel more important than trying to filter what you have. Don't get me wrong, I love this idea and will buy as soon as I know the water part is dealt with. Water, imho, is more damaging than anything else.

If you are worried about water then you will have to find a way to deal with it. In 20 years of diesels in the drive way I have never had water. Same goes for the 99% of the people here. This was discussed it the other thread and this thread was not started for another debate about that.

You need to go back and look at the test posting because you seem to forget that the fuel sample from the pump was excellent for cleaness, w/o water and 47 cetane, the water was from condensation in my tank and the fuel filter was not stopping the water and the filter was coming apart and putting trash into the IP & injectors to make a long story short.

Next time get the facts straight before opening mouth and looking foolish.

ON, was the fuel sample on the Jeep taken after the filter? Is the fuel coming out of the bleeder filtered?
