A good working fuel system
Many people are unaware of the problems that water in fuel can cause. Even a small drop of water can be extremely damaging for the fuel pump, its injectors, filters, and engine. Water carries dirt, rust, and micro-organism through the narrow pipes into the system and when trapped, the water becomes a perfect breeding place, resulting in blockage in the fuel pump and additional wear and tear. Placing a fuel filter / water separator between the tank and the fuel lift pump will prevent damage to the engine and ensures easy starting and smooth running.
Spin-on filters
Spin-on filters with maximum capacities from 190 to 460 litres per hour. Fuel filters separate moisture and dirt from the fuel, after which the clean fuel is directed to the engine. VETUS Spin-on fuel filters are based on a patented fuel flow system in which water is separated from the fuel before the fuel flows through the filter element. Subsequently, the fuel flows from the outside in through the filter element which removes suspended water and small particles. This reversed flow direction increases the effective filtering surface compared with conventional filters. The combination of these two unique techniques results in consistent filtering and a longer lifetime for the filter elements!
Patented fuel flow system
Fuel filters separate moisture and dirt from the fuel, after which the clean fuel is directed to the engine. VETUS centrifugal fuel filters are based on a patented fuel flow system in which water and large solids are separated by means of the centrifugal seperator before the fuel flows through the filter element. Subsequently, the fuel flows from the outside in through the filter element which removes suspended water and small particles. This reversed flow direction increases the effective filtering surface compared with conventional filters. The combination of these two unique techniques results in consistent filtering and a longer lifetime for the filter elements!
Fuel Hoses type FUHOSEA and FUHA115
For transportation of fuel, from tank to fuel filter for example, or to serve as a ventilation line. Available as quality type A1, suitable for both petrol (E15 = max. 15% Ethanol) and diesel (B7 = max. 7% biodiesel) fuels. Inside made of NBR rubber, outside of CR rubber. Fuel hoses which fulfil the requirements of Marine Fuel A1 have been successfully subjected to a fire test for 2.5 minutes and have a maximum permeability of 4 grams/m2/ hour. Because of the low permeability of the FUHA115 hose, it is particularly suitable for use with petrol.
