Default second fuel filter for Diesel JK
Has any one worked out if we are able to fit a second filter / water separator to a diesel JK.

what's the reason you'd want second one? chance of having to fill with unknown quality of fuel at some places?
the oem filter (revision AB, italian made) is made of synthetic fiber and rated 10 microns. all the aftermarket ones I saw are paper type (cellulose) and never come better than 25-30.
I usually replace with oem after questionable fuel at remote places after a trip, and oem never failed me so far.

Most, if not all diesels that are operated in extreme conditions ~ scrapers, graders, dozers, tractors etc have twin filters. Normally the same filter. When you change, you place the secondary element in the place of the primary & place a new secondary element in. Unless there is evidence that contamination like water has got passed the primary & then you replace both elements. Many of us have been doing this for decades.

Because the filter system on the JK is rubbish for the CRD. How many of you have had injectors fail?
I can not find any solid info on what micron the filters are EugeJK where did you find the info?

just looking around quickly in I came across this PureFlow AirDog replaces your standard filter and filters down to 2 microns and removes the air and water it also has a built in Lift Pumps looks pretty good I wonder how you put it in a JK
