82 Mercedes 2 Micron fuel filter mod! OM617 Water separator in stock location!

The easiest, cheapest way to gain water separation and much finer filtration on your OM617 equipped Mercedes. All parts needed are listed in description. Using only a upgraded filter and thread adapter you gain much improved protection for your fuel system. As a note, the stock filter is rated at 10 micron, and the BF7591-D is rated at being 91.95% efficient at 1-2 micron, I said the specs wrong in the video.
