Water-Block, Bio-Flow and Particulate Filters - Goldenrod
Goldenrod Water-Block, Bio-Flow and Particulate Filters
- Produced by the Dutton-Lainson Company U.S.A.
- Goldenrod Filters are superb quality Fuel Filters with inexpensive replacement elements, a transparent, amber tinted polycarbonate bowl to aid visual inspection of the filter whilst protecting the element and fuel from UV damage, and a reverse threaded water-drain plug to release any free water that settles to the bottom of the bowl. Water removal is facilitated by 2 means, first is gravitational separation of free water into the bottom of the bowl, and the second is by the 496-5 Water-Block Filter Element, which is impregnated with a water-absorbing polymer which absorbs and traps permanently any water that comes into contact with it. To see what the polymer does please take a look at the image in THIS listing
- Available with a 470-5 Particulate-Only Flter, a 471-5 Bio-Flow Particulate-Only Flter, a 496-5 Water & Particulate Filter more commonly known as a Water-Block Filter, or 40/80 Micron Stainless Steel Mesh Filter
- Suitable for most fuels, including Diesel, Petrol, Kerosene, and Bio Fuels. The filter instructions state that the 470-5 and 496-5 filters can only be used with B20 Biodiesel, this is due to the standard Nitrile Seal not being resistant to B100 biodiesel in long term use, however, each new element comes with a new seal, so use with B100 is not a problem as long as you change the filter regularly. OR... the 471-5 Bio-Flow filter does have suitable seals from the outset, but it does not remove water.
- Other features of the 471-5 Bio-Flow complete housing & element are as follows:
- Nickel plated top cap (compared to zinc on the standard)
- Gasket made from high temperature resisting rubber compound (stops swelling)
- Stainless steel element components
- Unlike cheaper patterns of this popular filter, the Goldenrod filter has elements manufactured from electrically conductive, graphite reinforced PP, this ensures that the filter element, and all of its components, are fully grounded to the filter head (and connecting pipework) to prevent any risk of static discharge / ignition. Cheaper replacement elements are not manufactured in the same way and so we do not recommend that other manufacturers elements are used when filtering Petrol.

Water Block Filter-Groz
A cheaper alternative to the Amber Polycarbonate bowled versions of this filter, the 'Groz Tools' Water-Block filter has a semi-transparent, white Polypropylene bowl, with water drain tap, the only disadvantage of this filter is that the bowl, being clearer that the Amber Polycarbonate equivalents, does not block UV light so well which can lead to fuel deterioration if in direct sunlight, and it is also not statically bonded. An advantage of the polypropylene bowl though is that it is more resistant to damage, and will bounce rather than smash like the Amber Polycarbonate equivalent.Suitable for Diesel.
