I just ordered a second filter.i have one of each.I figured the canister may be better for direct UV rays in the truck box,while the plastic-polymer see thru would be good under cover on the bulk tank?
Is there a pass through cap: which can be used when a replacement filter is not immediately available? So basically remove the exhausted filter canister and screw the cap on in its place. In the case of the filter + bowl does removing the filter, and screwing the bowl back on, have the same effect?
Thanks for your question! The Water-Block fuel tank filters can absorb approximately one half cup of water before restricting the flow of your fuel, which is the signal to you that the element or canister needs to be replaced.
So what accumulates in the bowl that needs draining? Gas or Water? If gas why, water makes more sense as in the funnel style gasoline water filters? How do I tell when the filter needs replacing? The instructions talk about when it becomes difficult to pump. Even with a new filter and tightening small amounts of something drips from the bowl drain.
Thanks for your question! On Goldenrod See-Thru bowl fuel tank filter models, the particulates that the element removes from your fuel is what accumulates at the bottom of the bowl, which can be removed by opening up the sediment drain valve. You should replace your element or canister when the flow of your fuel through the filter is restricted.
@@DuttonLainson Based on what you didn't say: the fluid I see, in the bowl, is gasoline. The water accumulates in the filter fabric. The fabric can only hold a very small amount of water before the filter clogs and restricts the flow. If these guesses are correct: how much water can the filter remove? Why don't you use the fuel funnel approach where the water, accumulates in the bottom of the bowl, and can be dumped whenever too much accumulates? Is there a filter which uses this approach?
@@wmsatic You are correct- water removed from fuel by Goldenrod Water-Block fuel tank filters is absorbed in the filter element itself. These elements can remove approximately 1/2 cup of water before needing to be replaced. None of our fuel tank filters use the approach to filtering water that you describe.
On the Goldenrod 570 - 3/4" do you know what screw on filters fit it ? I tried 1 at the parts store & the threads didn't seem to fit just right. Thanks.
Thanks for your question, Lee. Only the 595-5 (www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=56608) and 596-5 (www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=56612) Goldenrod fuel tank filter canisters should be used with the 570-3/4" top cap.
Thanks for your question, but Goldenrod filters are specifically designed as fuel tank filters and we do not recommend them to be used on engine compartments, vehicles, or over the road filters. Heat is a concern as they are only rated to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and Goldenrod filters are much larger than normal engine fuel filters. A stationary engine should not be an issue as long as heat is not excessive. Also, we recommend pushing the fuel through the filter instead of pulling the fuel through the filter.
Thanks for reaching out, Dallas! If your sediment drain valve is completely tightened all the way and still leaking, it might be time for a new bowl. They can be purchased directly from us here: www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=75074
So these are made out of zink? I heard galvanized pipe and zink is bad for diesel. This must not be completely correct because these guys wouldn't be selling them. Do they make a black iron version?
Thanks for your question! The zinc top caps on Goldenrod fuel tank filters are compatible with diesel and biodiesel blends up to 20%. They have been used with diesel since these filters were introduced in the 1960s. We do not offer a black iron version.
@@DuttonLainson good to know, I have a 495 and a 496 off the truck pump and a 495 off the aux tank in shop. I knew that had to be wrong. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for your comment, Mike, and we agree- used filter elements and canisters should be drained and recycled, as long as you have a recycler in your community that will take them.

Sorry, but we do not offer anything like that.
How often should you replace either canister or spin on with water-block option?

one filter is allows a 70% larger particle through, not sure I'd call that similar filtration. 10 vs 17 micron is quite a difference.
which one have 10 micron? im after the best filtration for my slip tank..
Can i ruduce the fitting size to 3/8 and use brass or copper fittings for my 6.5 diesel ? Fuel rate in no more then 15. Pounds of pressure

You should promote proper disposal of filters. No one should be tossing them in the landfill
