Firstly you need to know our the micron sizes work. The lower the micron number (eg 10) the finer the filtration. The larger you go (eg 100) the less filtration you get but fuel will flow more freely. You also need to understand that with more filtration you increase pressure. Typically an efi application would require anywhere from 10-40 micron, however 60 micron would also work fine as long as the fuel system is new and the tank has no sediment in it. Carburettor applications usually use a 60 micron however increasing to 100 micron is also ok and will achieve better flow.
The letters D and J are the first letter in the owners names Dee Deist (maiden name) and Joe Hansen. Joe Hansen (who was born in Australia) married into the safety business. DJ Safety have been long time personal friends with MSCN for over a decade with MSCN carrying the entire product range.
As the Australasian distributer for Deist and DJ Safety we are able to service, refill and SFI your bottle. Please note all Catalina bottles have a 12 year shelve life. This standard is set by the manufacture and starts from the date that’s punched into the bottle. As bottles are produced in large volumes your brand new bottle could already have 1-2 years from manufacturing date run on it prior to your purchase. This is very similar to the SA rating on helmets which are updated every 5 years.
A: Due to the introduction of new blends of unleaded fuels and fuel additives from all manufacturers in recent years it has become increasingly difficult to assure the compatibility of these fuels with the current hose constructions.
If using Speedflow the best hose option for use with unleaded petrol is the 200 series Teflon® hose -6, -08, -10 and -12 have a carbon lining to prevent static build up.
The construction of the –6 and –8 100 series hose has been modified to be more compatible with unleaded fuels but as of yet extended testing is not complete. Please also note with any rubber that uses a rubber inner liner, permeation of the fluid inside will let of a vapour (the hose will smell of what’s running through it)
Brown and Miller.
All BMRS hoses have a Teflon inner liner. This inner is completely compatible with all fuel, oil, types and brands.
XRP.
All XRP hoses have a Teflon inner liner. This inner is completely compatible with all fuel, oil, types and brands.
