What is the difference between the 200AE Series and the 200E Series filters? What is the difference between a 5, 10, and 30 micron filter? Can I install the filter on the suction side of the pump? What is the difference between the 300 Series and the 400 Series filters? What filter is to be used with high-alcohol content fuels? What is the difference between the 800 Series and the Centurion Series? At what psi does the Pre-Vent Fill Cap relieve pressure? What is the difference between a pressure gauge and a pressure differential gauge? HYDROSORB is our patented technology for water and particulate removal. HYDROSORB is a fiberglass medium impregnated with a super-absorbent and laminated to a resin-impregnated cellulose filter paper. Water is absorbed from hydrocarbons causing a pressure differential increase and/or reduction in flow rate preventing contaminated fuel. Yes, HYDROSORB removes contaminants as it removes water from gasoline, diesel fuel, or fuel oil. What is the difference between HYDROSORB I and HYDROSORB II? It is very sensitive to the free water and the emulsified water in diesel fuels. HYDROSORB Type II is designed for gasoline with MTBE additive and low sulfur diesel fuels for removal of free water and high amounts of emulsified water from the gasoline and low sulfur diesel fuel. What blends of gasoline should HYDROSORB be used with for proper filtration? The Alcohol Monitor filter should be used with ethanol blends. If I use the Alcohol Monitor with regular gasoline, what will happen? Contaminants will be removed but water will pass through. Only the Alcohol Monitor filter will detect phase separation and slow the flow of the dispenser to 2 gpm or less. Phase separation is the introduction of water to the alcohol-gasoline blend. When enough water is introduced to lower the proof, the alcohol becomes incapable of staying dispersed in the solution. Introduction of such fuel into a motor vehicle will result in engine failure. The life of any filter is dependent upon the quality of the fuel. The recommended change-out is when the flow slows to 3 - 5 gpm, or every 6 months. What is the difference between the 200AE Series and the 200E Series filters? The 200AE Series have a 1" opening on the top plate while the 200E Series have a 3/4" opening on the top plate. What is the difference between a 5, 10, and 30 micron filter? Can I install the filter on the suction side of the pump? If you do install on the suction side, it is recommended the pump has an internal bypass. If the filter becomes plugged it will not cavitate the pump. None of our filters are for use in aviation applications. What is the difference between the 300 Series and the 400 Series filters? The 400 Series is for use with Gilbarco Advantage dispensers. Part number 50032 has a 1" inlet/outlet and is for use with the 400 Series. A "positive shut-off" filter stops the flow of contaminated fuel once the internal pressure is 25 psid. An 8" length filter for the Gilbarco Advantage dispensers. A 10 " length filter for the Gilbarco Advantage dispensers. What filter is to be used with high-alcohol content fuels? For maximum corrosion protection, the Speciality Service Station Spin-on Filters are recommended for use with M85, M100, E85, and E100 fuels. The internal components are nickel-coated and a special UL required GFLT gasket are used. What is the difference between the 800 Series and the Centurion Series? The 800 Series is a replacement spin-on filter while the Centurion Series is a housing with replacement elements. These are submersible pump filter housings with replacement elements. An alarm system to be used with the Spartan or General Series. A light and alarm will alert an attendant when the filter needs to be changed. The Cim-Cart IV is used to remove water and sludge from the bottom of underground storage tanks. The Cim-Cart VI is used to clean diesel storage tanks not to exceed 2000 gallons. At what psi does the Pre-Vent Fill Cap relieve pressure? Color coding is used to differentiate the media: * Red = Particulate Removal Filters * Red = Microglass High-Alcohol Content Filters * Green = HYDROSORB I Filters * Brown = HYDROSORB II Filters * Blue = Alcohol Monitor Filters * Black = Wire Mesh Filters * Black = Fuel Oil Filters Q35. This is a replacement cartridge, P/N GNG-315-5PL, for a Facet housing. Gravity flow is typically an agriculture application where diesel fuel or gasoline is stored in above-ground tanks. The fuel passes through a filter and is dispensed through a nozzle from the force of gravity. A micron rating of the filter medium where particles are counted in the influent stream (before passing through the filter) and again in the effluent stream (after passing through the filter). The number of particles equal to or greater than a specified micron size are divided to the equation of = number of particles upstream by the number of particles downstream. This number is converted to a percentage of efficiency by the following formula: (1-1/eta) x 100% = efficiency. Some components in hydraulic systems require absolute filtration. Microglass is constructed of more and smaller diameter fibers than cellulose, contributing to a higher void volume. When microglass is impregnated with resins, these smaller fibers that have a higher dirt-holding capacity to start with, are fortified. This is in accordance to the International Standards Organization (ISO) procedure ISO 4572. HYDROGLASS is a patented high-performance medium utilizing a combination of impregnated super-absorbent polymer and microglass. Increased dirt-holding capacity from the microglass combined with the super-absorbent polymer for absorbing free and emulsified water has created this medium to be a high performer in today's market. Fluids with a heavy viscosity, synthetics, or systems requiring fine filtration require the use of HYDROGLASS filters or elements. Standard petroleum-based fluids with a low viscosity may use HYDROSORB filters or elements. When the filter becomes plugged at 25 psid in return line applications, the by-pass allows the fluid to continue to flow until the filter can be changed. In suction side applications, the by-pass is set at 3 - 5 psid. What is the difference between a pressure gauge and a pressure differential gauge? A pressure gauge reads the inlet or outlet pressure of the filter. The application is typically used in return line applications at the tank. A pressure differential gauge reads the pressure on the inlet and outlet of the filter. The application is typically used in-line applications where the filter is under pressure. Hydraulic oil type means petroleum-based, high-water-content fluids (HWCF), invert emulsions, water glycols, or synthetic fluids. Proper sizing of the filter depends upon the flow of the fluid in the system. Operating or working pressure of the system means how much pressure in pounds per square inch the filter will be subjected. A return line system is the most common low pressure application. This is the "last chance" for filtration before the fluid returns to the reservoir. An in-line system is where the filter is subjected to the operating pressure of the system.
