PlantDrive™ International :: All Products :: VegMax2 (VM2)

	VegMax2 (VM2)

Smaller and lighter than our previous filters, the VegMax2 is the smallest, lightest filter of it's type, and will fit in locations other filters do not. It is common to get at least 5,000 km per filter element, more if the oil is filtered more finely or centrifuged before it goes in the tank. Allows filter changes easily, being a top-mounted filter element design (and no, you don't try to "fill the filter" before you spin on a new element!)

Read on.....

Comes COMPLETE with filter element (3 micron nominal) large drain valve, convenient ORB fittings and heat-trapping, oil resistant, custom fitted black neoprene "FilterCozy" insulating cover for filter element.

SPECIFICATIONS:

3.5" x 3.5" x 11.5" tall (including filter element) Drain valve adds 1.75" (but can be on underside of sheet metal floor, fender, etc. - see below)

Weight, fully assembled, approx. 5 pounds.

Minimum clearance height needed above filter to remove and change filter element: 1.25"

Top-mount filter for easy filter changes in tight engine bays, etc. Just warm up the filter, loosen element, open the drain.

Coolant heated base.

Two spare coolant ports. Any two coolant connection ports can be used for the coolant in/out connections. The other two are plugged (plugs supplied) or are used for other purposes (supply of hot engine coolant to Hotfox, Hotplate, installing sensors, etc.)

NEW FEATURE: 1/8" NPT Ports are also included for installing the SVSW50C Early Switchover Preventer themal switch directly, with no bushing needed, into the coolant portion of the filter, and for installing a fuel temperature sensor or fuel pressure sender (in cases where fuel is being supplied under pressure by an electric fuel pump).

NEW FEATURE: There is a 1/8" NPT fitting on the "Fuel Out" side, which can be used as a port for a fuel pressure gauge in "pressure-side" applications.

Water separator / prefilter in base*. Large, convenient bottom drain.

The ORB fittings are very convenient and allow you to angle the fitting to the exact angle you need, then tighten the jamb nut against the O-ring, creating the seal. No thread sealant needed (drain valve threads should still be sealed with thread sealant). No more having to make that critical decision of whether to try and crank an NPT thread elbow fitting "one more turn" or not, to get it facing the angle you need, or whether to leave it a bit looser, and rely on the thread sealant! Now you can get just the angle you need, no tough decision, no leaks, no partly crimped hoses!

Ships with high quality North American made 3 micron (nominal) water separator type filter. Replacement elements available from this web site. Water separator type element means you can mount the VM2 with filter-up, OR filter down.

Note for overseas customers: we will only ship cases of 12 elements overseas. The 3-pack is not available outside of Canada. This is due to the prohibitive cost of shipping only 3 elements. The best idea is to order a case of elements when you order the filter itself, then you will have a good supply on hand for a long time!

MOUNT VALVES ON THE FILTER BASE IF DESIRED! Our 12V 3-port valves can be mounted on this filter using the optional spacer plates. Extra threaded mounting holes are provided.

CONVENIENT, VERSATILE MOUNTING: The VegMax2 can be mounted in a few different ways, for convenience and versatility. Two pairs of mounting holes are provided, one pair on each of the two sides of the unit that does not have any fuel or coolant connections. This means the filter is not "handed" (you do not have to worry about ordering a "left hand" or "right hand" filter, as you do with some filters). The unit can be bolted right through a firewall; mounted on a bracket, and can even be mounted through a floor or fender by making a hole with a holesaw just large enough for the drain valve, then thread in the drain valve from underneath and tighten, this holds the unit in place.

(Please note that the "Bag O' Fries" sticker shown on the second picture is not included,it just made a fun photo! :-)

*Water separators and water block type filter elements are not considered to offer full protection against all forms of water in fuel, which can damage injection pumps and injectors. They do offer secondary protection in the event of the inadvertent presence of water in fuel; the same reason they are used on most diesel fuel systems/filters. For best assurance of long term success, test the oil using a "Hot Pan Test", etc. See the article "Used Cooking Oil the Easy Way" on our home page.
