Why Choose Ryco’s Vehicle Specific Fuel Water Separator & Crankcase Filter Kits?

24 March 2020

Many 4WD owners are starting to understand the value in fitting fuel water separators and crankcase filters kits to their diesel power vehicles and the demand is seeing an influx of choice of these products in the market. Unfortunately, many of them are inferior and not meeting the expectations of owners or the vehicles they are fitted to.

Water in diesel just does not mix and when you add the fuel pressure now generated from diesel fuel injection systems, the results can be catastrophic to an engine. There are many ways that water can get into a diesel fuel system, whether that being condensation, water crossings or just a contaminated tank of fuel and the only way to protect your engine is a fuel water separator filter system.

Similarly, all modern-day Internal combustion engines utilise a crankcase breather which over time becomes contaminated with components such as oil, water and soot that build-up and can get into the engine’s air intake system leading to power loss and increased fuel consumption. This kind of build-up forms an insulating barrier on the inside of the intercooler, preventing the intake air from shedding its heat. This hotter intake air will reduce your engine’s power and increase fuel consumption. A crankcase filtration system eliminates this build up.

By fitting the combination of a fuel water separator and crankcase filter kit, engines are given the very best chance to be protected from early wear and tear and perform at their maximum. So why choose a Ryco Vehicle Specific Fuel Water Separator Filters & Crankcase Filter Kits (RVSK) over other alternatives in the market? Well, the answers are simple and very real;

Unlike other brands, Ryco’s RVSK kits are not a universal type application. Each kit is meticulously designed for each vehicle using existing mounting points in the engine bay for both the fuel water separator and crankcase filter, significantly reducing fitting time
All RVSK kits come with specifically moulded hoses so there’s no time-consuming joining or rerouting of hoses.
Because many 4WD vehicles endure road conditions tougher that an average car, all RVSK’s mounting brackets are designed to mount to three separate points. All competitor products mount with only two points making them suspectable to dislodging, vibrating or rattling.
For further flexibility, all kits are sold without filters.
