If you look at our catalog online, it lists all specs including can size, ADB, Relief valve setting pressure and location of o ring. Takes alot of research for very little gain. The best thing to do is use the best filter. Like FRAM Ultra, a 99% efficiency filter with 15k capacity. There are other top quality filters from other brands as well. Look for 99% efficiency rated using the ISO 4548-12 test, should say that right on the box.
We have video on our website that explains all the testing and what these terms mean if you want to learn more.  |
Good information. I will give the fram ultra a try next swap!
