Ford recommends 200 hours for use where the mileage is not a good indicator (ie: stationary & delivery type service).

I just flushed Fleet Charge (Fully formulated SCA precharged, Low Silicate, & Phosphate free) and noticed something when funneling it into the waste container. The funnel happened to have a surgical type screen mesh filter, which almost instantly clogged with an almost clear goop. The coolant...

I decided on HD fully formulated coolant when I flushed my vehicles and diesel tractor. It's a real quagmire trying to figure out antifreeze anymore... some don't even say what they are! (ie: all makes/models Prestone). The FleetCharge HD meets SAE1941 for my tractor, and the long Ford spec...

I have built some desulfators that you allude to and agree that they do in fact remove sulfate. On 6 older batteries (not abused) I noted a 12-13% improvement over a few months. Desulfation is part of my routine maintenance now.

I have a parallel MG30 I use offline with a sureflo petroleum rated pump. I got 2 MG30's that were apparently for air filtration off Ebay for next to nothing. I use it to filter the 10 gallon hydraulic sump on my tractor.

I have no idea, but the filter was definetly not heating up before I replaced the full flow and sandwich plate.

I finally got around to removing the sandwich plate. The sinker is in place, spring loaded, & looks as new. There was a very slight amount of oil around where the plate meets the engine, and the rubber gasket on the adapter is flat (almost flush with the adapter). Without any significant oil...

I have like 7 TP bypass filters in service for the past several years, and am having a flow issue with one that has been working well until now. On an auto engine, plumbed off a permacool sandwich plate (supply and return) my Motorguard MG30 TP filter is not heating up like it used to. After a...

I put a similar Donaldson hydraulic filter on my diesel tractor last year. The filter (P167832) was b1000=6u, and they still advertised the 3u absolute (which I think is like 97% ?). Picked up the head and 6 (huge) filters for next to nothing on EBay!

I drilled a 5/64ths hole and the buzz has stopped. The MotorGuard is still flowing, so I'm happy. Thanks for everyone's assistance.

Where do I drill the Permacool? Is the relief valve opening / closing as it is now a bad thing, or just a nuisance from the noise? I am mechanically inclined, but for whatever reason I don't seem to be able to really understand the sandwich plate's operation. If you could give a specific...

Thanks for the replies. The transmission was shifting fine while the connections were reversed. I switched the lines back & changed out the full flow filter, now the sandwich plate (?) is making a buzzing sound. I can hear it from the cab with the filter mounted on the frame about mid-ship. Any...

I installed a remote full flow trans filter > sandwich plate (permacool 181) > MotorGuard TP bypass filter backwards accidentally as follows : The return line from the cooler was plumbed to the "OUT" port on the remote full flow filter. The "IN" on the remote filter was plumbed to the...

I'm gathering the fittings and hard line to install a remote trans filter > sandwich port > MotorGuard bypass filter setup on my E350 motorhome. The Magnefine's have a 25u paper filter, but I couldn't get over the small size and service interval required. I do have a Magnefine on my power...

I've heard mention of a drain valve to allow air in the MG, but not a fitting to introduce compressed air. Makes sense, but I have no idea what type of fitting would standup to the temperature - perhaps a regular schrader? On my F150 I put the MG on top of the left frame perhaps 6" forward of...
