What type of fuel filter do you use on your TD42?

And why do you use it? Mine has a C.A.V. at the moment and it is giving me grief. I've been using it because it was on when I bought the car and the replacements are very cheap and available anywhere. I think I will change back to the standard one because of issues of sucking in air.

Whatever one it is that I use on mine, all I know is that I had to go out specially and buy the biggest flamin mother of a spanner just to remove the stupid thing.
What on earth possessed them to make it that size is beyond me.
And in answer, I'm assuming the normal everyday type.

Standed for me as the cav type i had on used to suck in air from places it shouldnt have.

standed is better not just for sucking air but for filtration standed are better than cav

I use the standard filter but I only use BOSCH fuel filters as they are wrapped like a dunny roll rather than the concertina type element.
BOSCH fuel filters are the only ones I have found that don't allow crap to get through to the gauze mesh filter in my injector pump. (Not all Patrols have these....)

Thats a good thread currentlyoffline, don't know how i missed it. I'll go back to a bosch filter by the sounds of it. Looks like I'll have to get a water sensor too. On a side note my fuel pump doesn't have that little gauze fuel strainer or spring either so might pick up those while at Nissan. Cheers

Spanner??? Can't you just use an oil filter wrench?
