Australia's toughest tanks, now available in Africa
Fuel filters
Pre-filter kits that stop bad fuel before it reaches your injectors.
Fuel filter bracket kits · keep the fuel in your new tank clean
Don’t let one bad fill-up ruin your trip.
A bigger tank means more fuel from every fill, and on a remote trip some of it comes from a bowser you know nothing about. One batch with dirt, water or algae in it can block your main filter and leave you in limp mode, a long way from a mechanic.
Fit a Brown Davis pre-filter with your new tank and the nasties are caught before they reach your factory filter, pump and injectors.
How it works · from your tank to your injectors
The pre-filter takes the hit. Your factory filter doesn’t.
01
Your Brown Davis tank
Up to twice the fuel from every fill, and some of it from bowsers you know nothing about.

Brown Davis pre-filter
20 micron element and a clear water bowl. It takes the hit from a bad fill-up, and you can see and drain what it catches.

03
Factory filter
About 2 micron. With the big stuff already gone, it only has fine particles left to deal with, so it lasts and keeps flowing.

Pump and injectors
Clean diesel only. No limp mode, no blocked filter on the side of the track, no costly repair.
Reaches your injectorsClean diesel
Why 20 micron?Common rail diesels run about 2 micron main filters to protect the pump and injectors. A 20 micron pre-filter is 10 times coarser, so it takes the worst of a bad batch before your main filter blocks and drops you into limp mode.
Water and algaeAlgae in diesel grows in the water. The clear bowl lets you see water building up and drain it on the side of the track, so the sensors downstream keep working.
