CAV filter

[macklux83]

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

try a truck or tractor shop

New complete units are pretty cheap at supercrap and you get a free filter

i only pay $5 a filter so avoid supercrap,etc for replacemet filters

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.

I run 2 in parallel and havent had a prob for over a year.

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

we run the CAV filters on 2 of our GQ's n have never broken a bowl in 5 years, they are mounted in standard position on an adaptor from denco. If you have broken the bowls how did you brake them? did you over tighten the thumb screw? are they exposed to stoned ect?

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.

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.
