Filters, Filters and more Filters

Jerry has been busy installing some new filters in the engine room to ensure the most efficient filtering possible.  First is the fuel polishing system - since all over Mexico the fuel might dirty, this is a good way to make sure the fuel is clean to go into the engine.

Second is an engine oil bypass filter, with this we never have to change the oil we just change the filter at the normal oil changing intervals

Third is a generator oil bypass filter, which works the same way as the engine filter, but for the generator.

Forth is an added fuel filter for the generator, which Jerry bought at the local cruisers swap meet for $300 pesos (~ $27 US dollars) and they normally go for $250 US dollars without a filter, and this one even came with a filter.  On a side note when Jerry was looking at it thinking about buying he noticed then that it came with the filter, and the man selling it said jokingly " I must not have looked in it, because if I would have seen the filter I would have taken it out".   So to say the least that was a major score and ever since installing it, the generator has been working great, it was just the little filter was getting clogged to much.  Another big plus is this filter uses the same filters as the main engine, this always is nice when there is a shortage of storage space.
