Davepatrol, Can I ask if you bought these or made them yourself? Looks like what I want.

Yes Glort, something I will have to look into. Look forward to hearing how you go Silver.

Silver, I plumbed my fuel manager in before the genuine filter. I did this because it made sense to put the 30 micron filter before the 2/4 micron (whatever the genuine filter is). On your genuine filter there should be two arrows. I believe these arrows indicate fuel in and fuel out. Have I had any dramas... well initially upon starting her for the first time, she started first pop. I did fill the filter with diesel from a jerry can before starting, as well as giving the hand primer bulb quite a few squeezes. So no problems there. Now, after a couple of weeks of the filter being in the system, I have noticed on a couple of occassions the engine is harder to start. This is always cold start, first start of the day type thing. I can attribute that to the filter making it harder for the fuel pump to pump the fuel to the commonrail, where it needs to reach a set pressure before it's allowed to fire. So there's signs that the fuel pump is working harder. As pointed out by Ray.

Cheers

I am also curious to know this. How do you tell they need changing?

The filter is in. Tried again to get the sensor to operate to no avail. I just hope it will work when it has to. Couple of pics... Filter in place Diagram of the components

I believe water is conductive of electricity and diesel is not.

Yes can do some photos when it's finished. I paid $350ish for the filter and water sensor. I also purchased some 90 degree hose fittings as they supply you with straight ones which were under $10.

Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Terrain Tamer's Fuel Manager system with the optional water sensor. I'm currently in the process of fitting one to my CRD. The unit is wired up, and I was trying to prove the sensor works before plumbing it into the fuel system. I did this by putting the tip of the sensor in some water to simulate water in the diesel filter. Nothing happened. Any ideas on how I can confirm the will work? I know the unit is wired up correctly, as the dashboard warning light comes on for 2-5 seconds when starting the vehicle, as it should according to the manual. Maybe I shouldn't be so paranoid

Delo!

Being a long time lurker of the old forum, I thought I'd take this opportunity to say g'day. Let's hope this new forum takes off. I reside in WA and drive an 07 wagon. Haven't really fiddled with it too much. I'm looking to fit some A/T tyres soon. Here's a pic I took in Kalbarri.
