The Dieselsite Coolant Filtration Kit will remove the loose particles in
your cooling system and give your water pumps, radiators, water necks
and radiator hoses the protection they need from abrasive materials
commonly found in your coolant system. Wear is virtually eliminated by
the removal of undesirable elements in your system.Coolant
filters are not a new idea to the diesel engine world. They come in most
OEM applications for medium duty and OTR tractor trailer rigs. The idea
was somehow tossed aside for light duty applications, most likely due
to cost. For our light duty trucks it is a very important issue that
needed to be addressed. Many diesel engines - like the Powerstroke - are
cast with sand in the process. This sand is NOT completely removed from
the system. In fact, much of this sand leaches out of the casting over
time. The sand wears away at water pump seals, hoses and radiators.
Removal of this sand can greatly increase your water pump life.
In addition to sand, there are other things that the filter is removing.
SCAs, or supplemental coolant additives used in protecting against
cavitation, often flake off the walls. This "precipitate" is a very
abrasive particle - like a scale - floating around freely in the system
unless caught by a filter.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The DIESELSITE Coolant Filter Kit is a bypass-style system that filters a
small amount of the coolant on each pass. By using a spin on filter we
make it easy for you to change your coolant filter at regular
intervals. These filters will remove all solid particles -- new or old.
It is never too late to install a coolant filter in order to extend
the longevity of your cooling system components. While you cannot
reverse the damage that is already done, you can eliminate further
damage from occurring. This kit is a must for every truck.
The DIESELSITE Coolant Filter Install Kit includes all fittings, hose and stainless steel clamps needed for installation.
FILTER CHANGE INTERVALS:
Use one filter every three months for the first nine months after
installation. The lack of flow into the expansion tank is an indication
that your filter is plugged. Change the filter if it should plug before
the 3-month interval. After the 4th filter is installed your filter
should be changed once per year.
