Hi everyone, yesterday while changing my fuel filter i broke the glass bowl on my CAV setup, can anybody tell me where is a good place to buy a replacement either in country Victoria or Melbourne, or if anybody has a spare laying around let me know what you want for it.
cheers

Hiflow have them. I used them when I bought some new injectors. Good company, situated in Springvale.
I have been using the Donaldson filters lately on mine. Under $5.00 from Truck Bits in Dandenong.

I am not in victoria but got them from Mr Filter in Sydney when mine broke twice. After the second time I pissed the whole thing off and went back to an original toyota system with the sensor at the bottom for water. The CAV would only last to 5k kms if I was lucky. The toyota filter has not casued me any problems and glad I made the change back even if it does cost me a bit more. Look up filter shops in the yellow pages, I just rang around until a place had them.

Been to stocko, last week went on a 1200k round trip including a fast run from adaminaby-canberra via namadji nat park.
Im on leafs all round, IF mine and a million other tractors and trucks can Use them and enjoy them, Perhaps there is a reason why yours broke.
A metal bowl is available also
Mine was only single, it could have been over tight but who knows. Luck had it I found the problem while at home. Too bad if it had been a trip, in the end I decided I wanted the water sensor connected so just went back to a standard set-up.pongo wrote:I run 2 in parallel and havent had a prob for over a year.Toli wrote:I am not in victoria but got them from Mr Filter in Sydney when mine broke twice.

i broke mine by dropping it on the concrete during a filter change, ive had it on the ute for about 4-5 years and never had a problem with it.
