Fuel "Refiner" Heats, Filters Diesel ENGINES Engines 30-5-39 I got a call the other day from Allen McKay, president and CEO of Ramco Performance Manufacturing in Fargo, N.Dak. Ramco specializes in aftermarket filter systems and has had products on the market for mostly industrial and over-the-road trucking û for more than 20 years.
Allen says he has been getting interest from the farm market and wondered if he could tell our readers about his TurboFynerÖ filter for diesels.
"This is a filter and a water separator that also heats the diesel before it enters the engine. It's a very compact product that simply plumbs in ahead of the existing filter. Fuel is heated by plumbing in a line from the engine coolant or transmission fluid. Heat helps prevent fuel waxing or gelling in cold weather. In fact, it'll let you use #2 diesel in winter instead of #1, which costs more money and doesn't do as good a job of lubricating.
"Our filtering media is what makes us unique. It filters down to 5 microns but does it with the flow restriction of a 25-micron filter. It'll extend the life of your existing OEM filter indefinitely. This filter traps moisture and harmful particles before they can get to the injectors, pumps and internal engine components. The heat in the filter keeps ice from forming in the filter media before the separated water can be drained away.
"The self-contained filter element is easily replaced. There are no seals or gaskets on the filter to leak.
"We've had customers install it on small diesel generators up to big 2,000 hp models. It's also ideal for biodiesel applications, especially because of the way it heats the fuel."
The TurboFyner is sized to fit pickups, trucks, tractors, combines and other farm-sized equipment. It sells for $189.95. The company also makes a variety of other smaller and larger filters.
