I know you like those in line sausage filters... but without a normal filter after it.... aren't you worried about stuff/crap getting through ?

Err--so just to set the record straight.....

You have removed out of the system--the Original Vehicle nominal 5uM filter, and replaced it with this gauze filter rated prob around 250uM....?

Personally--I just couldn't do that, sounds like a major problem in the making to me--Even though you have a few years of use in this manner!

Well--RM, You are a braver man than I!--I cannot recall ever running an engine--without a proper filter!

--Then again, you do use a pretty good system of cleaning your veggy, with good filtration down to 5uM? in your veg-purification kit.

One thing in your favour--any crud left in your veggy would probably be soft carbon-like particles rather than hard silica type stuff as found in std. diesel fuels....

My only concern would be someone much less experienced seeing this mod and NOT cleaning the oil up properly before its used in the vehicle......
