I have a 50hp Perkins 4108 fitted with a water separator filter of unknow origin, possibly a cav one, or very similar.
I would like to fit a racor filter in parallel, with a Y shutoff valve to be able to use one filter or the other (for ex while changing a cartridge underway), model 120 seems ok as it has a flow rate of 57 liters per hour.
Does it seem a sensible thing to do ?
I cannot see any problems in using two different filters as they will not be used together, is there anything to worry about?
I am also thinking about fitting a vacuum gauge after the two filters, which will indicate if clogging is taking place: is this useful or is it overkill?
thanks
