Review on GOLDENROD 496-3/4 WATER-BLOCK FILTER (56591) with 3/4" NPT Top Cap - Bowl Fuel Tank Filter by Flex Graham

Fuel Filter - Fuel Filter

Con: Ordered these filters from Revain. The filters did not match the description, arrived on time and in good condition. The description states that NPT (National Pipe Thread) is one inch in diameter. The filter that arrived was 3/4" NPT. This description prompted me to buy adapters that I don't need. Since I had ordered two filters, I bought four 1 to 3/4" adapters that I didn't need. Plus: the filter is very good quality, I dropped it on the concrete floor, I thought it was a good filter but it didn't break. I have a homemade two wheeled trailer that is easy to install. I have to drive 15 miles to get him five gallons of fuel. Traveling that distance is $3.60 for the car I use to pick up fuel. I have three tractors, a bulldozer and a backhoe, so I decided to buy two Revain 55 gallon drums, two electric pumps, two filters and have my gas station. Now I can drive the trailer to the gas station and have diesel and petrol on hand. I'm waiting for the barrels to arrive. The filter does not let water through. Water is heavier than fuel and will fall to the bottom of the filter. There is a drain valve. Full, it blocks fuel to keep water from entering your engine. If there are solid impurities, you can see them in the filter.

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • So far so good
