I was speaking of some I wish I had some Test Equipment where you put in X sized Particles and amount of Particles and pumped them with Oil through the Filter and could measure what comes out after it has gone through the Filter.

I have not developed enough interest in the issues involved to have MY Oil tested; or, want the expense.
I figure if I put a Filter on that is calimed to filter down to a nominal 0.5 that it has to be doing some good. even though I cannot prove it.

Ebay also sells some fittings with Metric threads and US type connections on the other end and they often have free shipping.

I had thought to weigh the canister, (or in our case cartridge) empty, then full of oil, then drip drained for 4 hours...then run it and weigh it again....

Pete at Kerma TDI and I had a chat about injectors and fuel filters and reduced exhaust opacity. He might have a lead on how to build what you're talking about...it would be WICKED to have a filter test bench. Very wicked.

any how I thought to share this too..

12mm x 1.50 BANJO BOLT STEEL EA. Banjo Bolts come with 2 pcs. Crush Washer Length Under Head .950" only $10.99 - Banjo Bolts
that's a 12mm x 1.5 banjo bolt....that might be useful in plumbing return of a bypass filter to the bolt hole on the pump.

might have to cut the threads...but still..pretty cool and like i said..MIGHT be useful
