Coolant Filters

[Curt Sprenger]

I took pictures of my coolant filter installation and wrote up a document. I just sent that off to Mike and John for Wanderlodge sites publication.

Greg,

Here's one with 3/8 NPT inlet/outlet sizes. You should be able to

find it locally. It's what's used in the heavy truck side of

things. Takes standard filters.

Hope this helps. I don't believe there is one designed for full flow

coolant, only partial flow. Prevents filter blockage from

interupting engine cooling.
