The racor I've fitted is also 2 micron and have yet to pick up any particles or water.
Presume the diesel quality down here is not that bad then... Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. Douglas Adams 2012 2.2 Puma |

Does anyone know what is the inner diameter of the feed and returning fuel lines between tank and fuel filter?

Thanks chaps!
I just decided to follow my way and installed the filter under the rear fender. Will make some kind of shield there of course to protect the filter. Click image to enlarge Using a hose bender and Tekalan (PA12) hoses made new fuel lines. Used 10/8 Tekalan hose for return and 12/9 for feed. Bought some quick release connectors that I found locally - 7,89 for the return and 9.89 for the feed line. What interesting - only on the filter base the feed line has a bigger connector. On the tank side both connectors are the same. I didn't heat hoses up to push the connectors in - I used the silicone gun instead making a press of it. In my opinion it is much better fitment than when using heat (Tekalan doesn't return fully to its previous diameter when heated up). I have wrapped the feed hoses with red shrinking tube and return with the black one for extra protection.
