No Bad fuel,
October 19, 2009
By bake4212
from Fort Mitchell, AL
"I would recommend this filter to anyone that wants to be assured that no bad fuel will be transfered to and damage an expensive diesel engine. When it is clogged or has water it won't let any more fluid pass through.
I keep an extra on hand at all times."

Excellent Product,
February 11, 2009
By WVOrecycler
from Colorado
"I use this product as the sole water removing method (other than gravity) on my waste vegetable oil fuel processing station. Of course I do what I can to stay away from oil with obvious water contamination, all oil will contain some oil. I was able to process almost 200 gallons of oil last summer on one Water Stop filter before it reduced the flow enough that I had to replace it. I'm now purchasing two more replacement filters."

Goldenrod Water Block filter elements do the job,
November 17, 2008
By JohnSC
from Lafayette, LA
Reviewer Images
(click to see full-size image)
"These Goldenrod Water Block filter elements do exactly what they are intended to do, filter out water and sediment down to 15 microns from liquids other than water. Without the correct tool to undo the housing, changing them can sometimes be difficult. This though, is not the fault of the filter element. On some occassions when changing the filter element, the top of the element has come off, leaving me to fish-out the rest of the element out of the lower portion of the filter housing. All in all, I would have to say that after filtering 1000s of gallons of fuel, this would be my only complaint."

Great Filter,
August 18, 2008
By Stewbailey
from Georgia
"This is an outstanding filter, the water block once contaminated no longer allows any fluid to pass through the system. This fail proof system ensures that fluids passed through the filter are not contaminated by water."

Water Block filter element,
January 15, 2008
By Seminoletide
from Calera, AL
"Does a good job of ensuring water not in fuel. Clogs quickly so if other sediment, etc in fuel, use another in line filter before fuel goes through this filter. If not, you'll have to purchase these filters more often and they are much more expensive to replace than standard non-water block filter elements."

A remedy for my house boiler,
January 14, 2008
By GeorgeG
from Lubec, Maine
"Even though this filter is used for diesel engines, I use it on my house boiler.
This is something a boiler service tech might not recommend as it may put him out of business. One of the biggest problems for house boilers is condensation. Most of the time when you get fuel it is very cold. When the fuel passes through the line it warms up and causes condensation which is water
that could foul up your sensors and and other things that causes your boiler not to run right or may cause it to break down. I've been using this filter for six years and have to say it has not broken down since. Use the clear cannister filter and you can see and would be amazed at how much water goes into your boiler if you did not use this filter. A great product to save you money and stay warm."

By DieselPaul
from Detroit, Michigan
"This filter workes good, however it does not hold much water. You will need to replace it often. I have a 500 gallon diesel fuel tank, and I need to change this filter every 1000 gallons. The tank is new and in good condition. More important is that the Goldenrod filter trap's all the water. You will know when it is getting full with water when fuel pressure & fuel flow will slow down. Also you will notice the fuel getting cloudy in the bottom of the fuel bowl. Opening the drain screw will help some, but you should change the filter."
