Vegmax Filter for Vegetable Oil |
New PlantDrive VegMax Filter is not exactly as pictured -Coolant/fuel connection fittings are now plastic, rather than brass. We also sell a fittings kit separately. Also note that as of mid-January of 2008, VegMax will be polished aluminum base rather than the current anodized red.
NOTE: THIS IS A SUCTION-SIDE FILTER: The Vormax and the VegMax, like all fuel filters with water-blocking elements, are designed to be installed on the suction side of any 12V or mechanical lift pump - if there's any free water in your fuel, the pressure of the pump will create a water-fuel emulsion, which won't drop out into the drain bowls of the filters where you can drain it out. Also, if the free water is turned into an emulsion, it will not swell the Aquablock filter media of the R90T element or the water-blocking element of the VegMax. Instead, the water-fuel emulsion can get pushed through the filter media and end up in your fuel system post-Vormax. Advantages over any existing diesel fuel filter currently in use for SVO/WVO/Biodiesel: Designed by the inventor of the Vormax. The only thing it does not have is a clear, removable prefilter bowl, as is found on the Vormax.)
Compact - 10-1/2” tall to bottom of drainvalve x 3-1/2” wide x 3-1/2” front-to-back. Will fit in almost any car or truck’s engine compartment. Filter element screws on from the top, but only requires 1” clearance if undermounted under the bed of a pickup truck. And despite the compact size, the filter element is huge relative to that of many competing WVO filters.
Coolant heated at bottom - more effective heating of filter than filters with coolant at the top.
Easy-to-service filter - spins on from the top. Open drainvalve at bottom to drain filter, loosen filter element to break vacuum, let balance of fuel in filter drain, spin off filter, spin on new filter element. Open drainvalve at bottom periodically and drain a bit of fuel into a clear container to check for water. Drainvalve, like that on the Vormax, accepts a 3/8" pipe nipple to extend the drain outflow point.
Affordable filters - $22 each inc. shipping and handling.
Excellent filtration - filters to 5 microns, but with flow rates of a 10 micron filter. Flowrate is up to 200 GPH! (And some in the WVO community question the ability of any filter and/or filter media designed for diesel fuel to separate out water in WVO. It's our experience that the Racor Aquablock filter media will indeed block water in fuel, and the Vegmax was designed with alternative fuels in mind. We still recommend that you not fuel your vehicle with watery fuel, of course! (See "Used Cooking Oil the Easy Way", on our home page). Reversible front-to-back (threaded mounting holes on two opposite faces) means it’s not handed in respect to coolant in and out ports - no need to figure out and specify handing as when ordering some competing filters.)
