This metal filter is made in Italy. It has a quality all aluminum housing and a stainless steel mesh screen. It measures 2 and 1/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches tall. It is just the right size and micron rating to be a great prefilter for any fuel pump or diesel injection pump. It can be used to replace the existing plastic pre-filters on most diesel engines. The bowl has ridges on it for a good grip and you can turn it counterclockwise as view from the bottom to remove it.

With the bowl removed you only need to reach in and pull the screen out of the bowl for cleaning.

There are rubber seals that seal both the top and bottom of the screen housing. The bowl is sealed to the head with a large 0-ring.

The two holes in the top of the filter head can be tapped out to accept short bolts. Then you can mount the filter to an aluminum bracket as shown below:

When using this filter, keep in mind that it is very effective and you should take it apart and clean it every 10,000 to 15,000 miles depending on the type of fuel you are using. At the first sign of power loss, clamp off the inlet hose going to the filter, remove the bowl and clean the screen. Here you can see how effective it performs on a car running waste vegetable oil.
