Hi Barry,
See I didnt answer this e-mail properly. The fuel filters are
basically the same as the oil filters although slightly different. They
differ in that while the oil filter has a 50 thou orifice in the inlet
opening to drop the oil velocity and to prevent channeling the fuel filter
entry is is the same or bigger than the fuel line size so there is no
restriction and fuel can progress unrestricted. They also have a cock or
tap on the bottom so you can drain them occasionally or every so often, to
remove the water which tends to settle out, especially when idle or sitting
for a while, and for taking fuel samples for visual examination and
inspection.
As such the filter element will not fit the canisters you mention.
Nevertheless when fitted in conjunction with these as the final filter with
a diesel they will give you superfine filtration removing the asphaltine
particles and other fine contaminants present in all diesel fuel which are
the biggest cause of soot (carbon) and exhaust emissions. When fitted
together with a by-pass oil filter they help prevent carbon particles
entering the crankcase oil to quite a large degree in the first place and
thus help to achieve the cleanest system possible and extended oil and
engine life.
Both MIL-MAC oil and fuel filters will work exceedingly well on this type of
vehicle. There is also generally plenty of room for fitting them and easy
access. I can assure you that you will be very happy if you fit them.
B.r., David

Do you use the same filter for fuel as well as oil? What are the demensions
of the element? I dive a toyota 4wd diesel with standard fuel filter
element in the metal canaster used by toyota, mitsubishi and daihatsu
diesels. Can I make a Mil-Mac filter element fit in one of those?
