Bobcat Skid Steer Fuel Filter Caution

[@slimsmarti]

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

[@travishodges5179]

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

[@charlesfuglie2491]

​@@travishodges5179so for. Just want until you get the bill of putting all the fuel system in.

[@jamesa.5052]

I was thinking to buy one off eBay, but you gave me very good advice. Sir, thank you a lot and Marry Christmas.

[@slimsmarti]

Your channel is very helpful, thank you!

[@rontopping2048]

Thanks for info , I just purchased a few from Amazon. I will only use bobcat filters

[@tetradgroup]

Cut one open and let know what you find! I hope a reputable filter manufacturer will have an option soon.

[@travishodges5179]

I put 5 bobcat filters on in a year, had low fuel rail pressure issues constantly, changed to Chinese no more issues!

[@jesselowman6881]

That’s because the Chinese filters let so much through and don’t get stopped up lol

[@shotzonyou]

The company I work for just had to drop 12k on a new fuel system because someone filled it with dirty water. I would like to know how it’s still working out for you tho.

[@travishodges5179]

@@shotzonyou sadly all the filters are Chinese made, all my fuel is prefiltered down to 2 microns, only poor people and rookies use jugs,

[@shotzonyou]

@@travishodges5179 I agree. I work in rentals, so we don’t know what some people put in the tank until it’s to late sadly.

Thank You for the info . Merry Christmas

I learned the hard way a couple years back.

[@drycreek3204]

Great info. I liked the Bobcat "Chinese" surprise !

[@weglnavy11]

Dang, just bought a cheap one. About to send it back and go to the dealer for the raping. Thanks for tearing these open for the comparison.

[@travishodges5179]

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

[@therealsideburnz]

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

[@AirmanBrown]

missed the old kubato engines. Those think were tanks. Sucks to have such delicate equipment in construction and heavy machinery

[@213eddy]

I bought one and on the 3rd day I had to use starting fluid to even start the skid then I had all the injectors mess up and had to get new ones

[@charlesfuglie2491]

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.

[@onemessedupfarmer]

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.

[@justinwasil11]

Moral of the story use whatever filter you can afford but make sure you drain the water lol

[@jrac863]

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]

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

[@jrac863]

@@jesselowman6881 high pressure common rail electronic injectors

[@joshhope9287]

So where is the best place to buy a quality bobcat filter? From bobcat itself? Or a distributor of authentic bobcat parts??? Kinda confusing

[@tetradgroup]

Shop.bobcat.com or your local dealer is the best place.

[@tonyschumacher2095]

After enough of these filters, probably time to just get an Airdog plumbed in..

[@hr2506]

Can you buy the filter direct from Fleetguard?

[@charlesfuglie2491]

Sadly no or I couldn't find the number that it crosses too. I'm wondering if bobcat got it locked down with fleetguard so they can't sell it

[@dougspade3878]

Is it possible to just plumb in a cat one?

[@tetradgroup]

I don't see why not

[@In2investing]

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.

[@Shpane21]

how often should you change these?

[@tetradgroup]

Every 500 hours depending on conditions might need to be changed more often.

[@Shpane21]

@@tetradgroup thank you, my manual shows a different style fuel filter than this one that's on now. Took over a shop with a t590 and was unsure what to do. THANK YOU!

[@joshhope9287]

Bruh pulled the bobcat filter apart and it said made in china!!!😂😂😂😂wtf

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Wow why would people do this . Its jyst not worth it $70 is not that much considering the price of the machine .

[@chipusas1161]

sad everything is made in China. I try to buy USA very hard to find. So I will buy the Bobcat filter. Can't afford $10k fuel system.

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Don’t do it .
