. . Hey guys and welcome back to my YouTube channel. I'm in a workshop today. I'm going to be installing a few upgrades to the engine. I haven't done too much to the 75's engine recently. The snorkel and the airboth. Other than that, know what? I'm in your step for now. Okay so video one we're going to be doing the RICO field filter. I already run a RICO field filter and have for many years so this is a secondary one. I also have the water separator on the bottom. My factory fuel filter has a water sensor on the bottom which is quite allowed alarm for when it detects water. I've had it go off twice since owning the car. I think having a water separator in the system is something I've probably should have done a long time ago. The RICO kit, it's a 10 micron. I think I'll be looking at changing this one and the next service to maybe a 4 micron. Extra things that I had to grab, I've lost some fuel hose, I've lost hose clamps so yeah I will pull this apart and have a look. Alright so this is the RICO fuel water separator kit. Obviously comes with the 980 which is the 10 micron and I'll be looking for next service to go to a 981 which is a 4 micron. So a little bit more important for newer cars as opposed to an old diesel like this one. Newer cars have injectors that don't like large particles where I think mine would probably run on anything. So you get two filters. Just sediment bowl. Your top mounting plate, your inlet and outlets and they also give you a theory of hose barbed and bonds to blank off the two that you're not using. We're just going to assemble one of these filters. When the first time I had water in my fuel was just a service station down in Brisbane so it doesn't even really have to be you know out the middle of nowhere where you can get contaminated fuel whether it be with water or just particulates in there. Damaging to engine especially your injection system. So that is the entire system. You can get shorter ones of these as well and if you don't have the room for a long one but a lot of newer cars only have real narrow sections to fit things in. We're going to remove this battery train mount and put in this bracket so that both the catch can and the fuel filter can be mounted on the same bracket. So you're going to need the bolts and also stag for all the barbs. So there's little arrows on each port so we're going to go. We're going to remove that one and we'll come out this one. So all the fittings in and we're going to grab this fuel line here to go to this barb and we'll run the other side directly to the pump. Right which fuel line to crack there. Oh it's gone just so fun. Fuel line has probably never been off. Where do I want to run said hose. Right so chalk a length of fuel hose. Dropped hose clamp. I didn't miss that Stag. Yep that's all I'm going to do. That justamente tshirt combined. It's a eder frame強 belt just like the passes you your red flim and mumps. Easy to escribe depends until it's time to fly. Open stuff! Good job from the tips of the engine bay. That is the inlet. There, I'm just going to wait for it to drop into the running pool. So that is all installed. Now that the fuel filter is installed, we're going to blade the system because obviously we've just introduced a heap of air. Alright guys, so that was fairly straightforward. Mod probably should have done it seven years ago. I think it's a handy thing to have and I know when you get your first pour drive it's exciting to do all the cool mods. But sometimes it's best to do mods that are going to save you money in the long run, especially if you plan on having the car for a decent period of time. Which I always had. I'm going to feel a little bit more confident now when I start going to places like the Cape and more remote regions like some desert where you feel quality might suffer a bit at fuel stations. So having those two fuel filters is going to be a bit more peace of mind. And how do you feel solid? The bulb doesn't feel cheap or plasticky. Everything feels really good. You can mount this before your factory fuel filter, so as a pre-filter. But then you probably want to drop down to a small micron for your secondary. All that's going to happen now is if I hear the water alarm go off, I know that there's water at the first fuel filter and you can maybe monitor planes, planes, so we can't tell when you're in ample. Probably monitor the secondary fuel filter then and look for water in that bowl and drain both your filters, reprim the system and go again. Maybe drain the tank if you think it's that bad. Overall, great mod. Easy to do. Can do it in the backyard. There's no reason. I didn't do it here because my shed's a mess. So yeah, next video. I'm going to be storing the catch can or the crane case filter, so stay tuned for that one.
