Engine Protection

Protect your engine From Contamination.

Pre-filters & Oil Separators

When exploring Australia you need to be prepared for anything, including poor quality fuel. A Pre-filter system ensures a high degree of water separation and particle pre-separation. The Direction Plus PreLine-Plus kits we fit include an intuitive multi-stage water alert that differentiates these pre-filters from all others on the market.

It’s easy to think that fuel contamination is something that happens “in the bush” but this is simply not true! Did you know that 72% of all diesel fuel injection system failures are caused by water and fuel lubricity problems? Direction Plus Diesel Fuel Pre-Filter Kits protect late model common rail diesel engines against costly injector failure.

Installing a Direction Plus™ Pre-Fuel Filter kit between the fuel tank and the O.E.M fuel filter will remove the majority of water and particle contamination. This leaves the O.E.M fuel filter to do the final filtration. This ensures you are maximising the protection of your diesel fuel system.

Direction Plus also has the ProVent oil separator kit that protects your modern diesel engine by substantially reducing the amount of oil entering the engine from blow-by gas in the crankcase ventilation system. This system is specifically designed to separate and redirect oil and air from blow-by gas produced from within the crank case.

Dangers of Fuel Contamination for Diesel Injectors

Exposure to poor quality or contaminated diesel can build up inside of injectors causing wear on the valves which leads to failure. These failures can increase the risk of costly engine problems, especially in modern vehicles, with tell tale signs of contamination including:

  • Rough engine start up

  • Misfiring

  • Loss of power or RPM

  • Abnormal exhaust smoke
