Flushing and blowing air through a filter mesh will remove most of the particular debris but not all and after each cleaning there will be more particular matter not completely removed. Which is fine as long as you run a differential pressure guage across the filter element and do filter cleaning based on the pressure differential and not on miles driven or passes made.

Video of how you do it.

These filters catch much smaller particles than spin on throw away filters.
And the flow rate/ lack of pressure drop is incredible. Much, much higher flow rate.
They are FFA approved, lives depend on them.

READ my post on Canton filters above. I am not advocating the use of common parts house spin on filters.

Then READ my post between that one and is one. I don't require a video from someone trying to sell me something to influence my decisions. I've had a 30+ year career repairing, rebuilding, and installing high and medium speed diesel engines in marine applications. My decision making matrix is different than yours.

We've been running Canton filters since 1996 and we've not found anything better. Plus we like to support long time vendors of Pontiac racing parts.

I would pay Moroso or Steffs big dollars to make me the nicest pan on earth before I gave Canton a dime.
I bought a trick Steffs for 850$ and Canton not only wanted 5 race pans minimum but wanted over 1000$ each for them. AND they wanted pics from me to build it. They lost the info and had not made one in over 10 years.
So I am not too high on Canton these days. They made some nice pans in the past but apparently do not have the info to build one today.

Wow, sorry to hear that about them. I wonder if they had a change in ownership.


And for the complete story here's a big rabbit hole.

1- Treat each other with respect. If someone is being disruptive, notify the moderators and then ignore them.

2- It's not your job on BITOG to zealously defend or debase the honor of a brand. State your position politely, offer credible evidence or reasonable experiences, and move on.

3- Please do not call products or brands by derogatory names, such as "Orange Can of Death" or "Tearolator" etc.
Abbreviations and acronyms do make life easier, but please avoid using "FU" for obvious reasons; we would prefer "Ultra" or FrU".
