Filtration ? Ive had issue on a friends car with some injectors. Wont mention brand etc.
But it's twice now on the same vehicle, with exact same make/model injectors, but only 1 set of a twin injector setup ( staged primaries and secondaries, not a V8 application )
Car uses two large 30micron stainless elements. 1 before each pump only, brand new build, and was clean throughout on build in July.
It has been suggested lack of filtration is the problem, and that closer to 5 micron would be the solution
Whilst I can understand this, given Ive run my own car for several years with 2 inj per cylinder, albeit Siemens and for most of that time only a single 100 micron filter....I struggle to accept a lack of filtration at 30micron level in a very very short space of time should be killing injectors.
Injectors have not been returned yet for inspection/repair, but they will be.
The injector seller has suggested these filters...which other than the actual housing...just look like an oil filter, and claim to be suitable with all fuel types.

Anyone ever heard of them or used them ?
