Recharging a cone air filter - devils_fuel - 18-09-2013 Hi I bought an aftermarket cone air filter, I have left it in a bowl of boiling water with a dissolved dishwasher tablet and bloody hell the waters black !!!! I will recleanse it with just boiling hot water and leave it to dry. The question is what can I use on the filter to recharge it so dust particles stick to the it, should I buy a k&n recharge kit or is there anything better or just as good that wont cost the earth?? RE: Recharging a cone air filter - samass - 18-09-2013 id use wd40, or some other light spray oil, just gunna do the same thing RE: Recharging a cone air filter - Piggy - 18-09-2013 as I told you devils....a spray grease of some sort.

It was the word "grease" i instantly thought way too thick and thought about wd40 but I've never recharged a filter before so thought I'd ask before fudging it up (18-09-2013, 08:27 PM)samass Wrote: id use wd40, or some other light spray oil, just gunna do the same thing Ha ha that's a lot cheaper than a recharge kit RE: Recharging a cone air filter - HDIkyle - 18-09-2013 Id just plug it in overnight did you not get a charger with it? Can buy one with different voltages and ends from Argos Recharging a cone air filter - devils_fuel - 18-09-2013 (18-09-2013, 09:01 PM)HDIkyle Wrote: Id just plug it in overnight did you not get a charger with it?

RE: Recharging a cone air filter - cully - 19-09-2013 wd40 evaperates off so is no good as it wont retain the dust once gone id go with 3-in-1 spray oil for a cheap option on 4 or two stoke stuff we used to oil the filters with the two stroke oil that we mixed in the tank but the propper filter oil is not that expensive RE: Recharging a cone air filter - devils_fuel - 19-09-2013 (19-09-2013, 07:47 AM)cully Wrote: wd40 evaperates off so is no good as it wont retain the dust once gone So actual oil then, just thin viscosity? RE: Recharging a cone air filter - Piggy - 19-09-2013 yeah I realised I bee saying GREASE all this time...my bad... I mean a spray oil of some sort! RE: Recharging a cone air filter - cully - 19-09-2013 (19-09-2013, 09:56 AM)devils_fuel Wrote: So actual oil then, just thin viscosity? yes but it has got to stay wet and not dry out as the idea is to catch the particles by sticking to the oil oh and hdis dont like oil in there MAF sensor as it coats the sensor giving false/slow reacting readings RE: Recharging a cone air filter - devils_fuel - 19-09-2013 (19-09-2013, 10:11 AM)cully Wrote:(19-09-2013, 09:56 AM)devils_fuel Wrote: So actual oil then, just thin viscosity?

RE: Recharging a cone air filter - WiNgNuTz - 29-09-2013 Gonna revive this thread rather than starting a new one. The cone filter i have is filthy, but i don't have any dishwasher tablets to dissolve in a bucket of water, so does anyone have any better suggestions?

RE: Recharging a cone air filter - WiNgNuTz - 29-09-2013 Yeah, good call.....except i'm skint and tight. Pretty much looking for some kind of free solution to this.

Dishwasher tab in and then rinsed 4 times Then I painted engine oil on to the filter with a paintbrush and all is well Cost me £2 in total and the filter is like new RE: Recharging a cone air filter - WiNgNuTz - 29-09-2013 How long did you soak the filter in the bowl with the tablet? Managed to find one, and the filter is now in the bowl. RE: Recharging a cone air filter - adamm306 - 29-09-2013 (19-09-2013, 08:57 PM)Jimbo Wrote: Defiltered FTW!

Defilter it... defilter it they said it would be fun they said hole blown in the turbo they never said RE: Recharging a cone air filter - WiNgNuTz - 29-09-2013 Defiltered is FTW tbh, but i will be reinstating the original pipework again over the winter months, same as i did last year. Hence im now cleaning the cone filter. If you kill the turbo because its defiltered, it just makes for a good excuse to put a bigger turbo on! RE: Recharging a cone air filter - adamm306 - 29-09-2013 it was FTW till it sucked something in and killed my turbo lol |
