Thanks, Colin Hi Colin The only information I could find out for my Delphi HDF296 filters is that they are 5-7 microns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c.hydes Posted January 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 OK thanks, that's quite fine. Do you know if it is classified as "high flow rate" suitable as a Bosch pump pre filter? Colin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Colin The CAV filter! There were 2 types one for petrol Lucas part number 54733180 and one for diesel. I do not know what the difference was? But I suspect that it was in the paper filter element? I used the CAV filter for years but I had modified the pipework to 3/8" and used the larger filer head which also had larger pipe unions. In my view the original 1/4" bore pipe work is not big enough for a BOSCH pump and I believe this will shorten their life as it will not meet 5litres per minute at the pump, as required by BOSCH.

Bruce. I was told the difference between the two CAV filters was in the adhesives used to hold the paper element in place- that was years ago when I was offered a supply of surplus CAV diesel filters cheap.

Did you take up the offer and use them. If so did they come apart? Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. I paid a bit extra to get a filter from an Australian company whose filters I've been buying since the late '60's called Ryco. The filter I use is a Ryco Ryco R2132P .
