    I just bought my Bobcat fuel filter. This video posted about 2 days before my filter purchase.

      Bobcat filters are too restrictive, Chinese filters cause me no problems in 5 years

    I’m pretty sure I got sold one of these with a bobcat label on it
    Only looked closely at it a couple days after I changed the filter and started getting constant water in fuel and low rail pressure codes

      They are all made in China, cheap ones don’t plug up near as bad, brand name plug up way too fast, and cause low fuel rail pressure light to come on

    Interesting I just did a fuel filter replacement on an S570 and I cut apart the old filter and found frozen water on the filtered side it was made in china. Bought a new filter from bobcat for $95 felt pretty violated. Noticed that the new filter is made in USA must be they had some quality issues with the ones made in china. I have to say there’s definitely some robbery going on here with bobcat because I can buy larger fleet guard nano net filters for less money than the bobcat usually made out of steel so logic would tell you that it would be a more expensive filter to manufacture than these plastic ones.

  • @charlesfuglie2491
    @charlesfuglie2491 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm surprised that fleetguard didn't cross over but I think bobcat got it locked down so you can't buy it right from fleetguard.

    And this is exactly why we are staying away from the new doosan engines after 2014.No comparison to the reliability of the older kubotas.And the fuel systems are bulletproof.If u do have a problem with the injectors they are inexpensive you can pick them up for about 150 bucks.If you want to rebuild them it's pretty much a 5 minute job.When we rebuild the injectors we replace the nozzle and usually spring thats it then pop test them. Good for another 3000 hours at a cost under 50 dollars.

    • @jesselowman6881
      @jesselowman6881 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s because the old kubota engines are mechanical injected . Where as the new kubota engines and bobcat are high pressure common rail

    Doing a video on cheap Chinese filters when you realize the expensive OEM filter is a made in China filter...LOL. But you're right just look at Nike they're shoes are made in China but there's a huge difference from their's to the knockoffs being made in the factory down the road.
