BETWEEN STANDARD PAPER FILTERS AND "V8F" GLASSFIBRE FILTERS
ENCLOSED IS A REPORT (POSTED ON THE V8 FORUM) CONDUCTED BY AN ENTHUSIAST WHO HAD CUT UP AND COMPARED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A STANDARD PAPER FILTER AGAINST THE NEW GENERATION GLASSFIBRE V8F FILTER.
QUOTE... " ONE THING THAT WAS CLEARLY NOTICEABLE WAS THE AMOUNT OF DAYLIGHT THAT CAN BE SEEN THROUGH THE MEDIA OF THE PAPER FILTER, ITS LACK OF BYPASS VALVE AND ITS RATHER FLIMSY NON RETURN VALVE.
THE V8F FILTER MEDIA IS SUPERB - THE QUALITY OF THE NON RETURN VALVE AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FILTER CASSETTE IS EXCELLENT
...THE V8F FILTER MEDIA IS EXCELLENT, AND IN PULLING THE TWO FILTERS APART FOUND THE V8F MEDIA WAS AS TOUGH AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A GLASSFIBRE BACKED WITH STEEL MEDIA.
...THE MEDIA OF THE PAPER FILTER IS AS FRAGILE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT
...MY CONCERN WITH THE PAPER MEDIA IS THE VISIBLE LIGHT / HOLES PRESENT IN THE PAPER - AND TO WHAT EXTENT THE HOLES WOULD ENLARGE WITH PRESSURE FORCING PARTICLES THROUGH...
... I HAVE SPENT MANY THOUSANDS OF POUNDS ON MY ENGINE...I CAN JUSTIFY SPENDING A BIT MORE ON A DECENT FILTER !!
... I'M HAPPY IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS USING"
