I Need a Source for InLine Filter

[VWandDodge]

I have a H/F parts washer my father bought me in the early 1990's. Naturally, it is a kwality item hence my need to modify it slightly. If/when I clean heavily greased or gunked material the simple filter tends to clog thereby affecting the performance of the pump. What I want to do is install a bung at the bottom of the tank and plumb for ½" pipe to a two stage filtration setup before routing the fluid back into the tank. I'm trying to source either a cartridge filter setup or something similar where the housing is transparent. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

many industrial/ heavy eq engines have a fuel filter that has a glass bowl on the bottom.
some perkins engines, older bobcats (743/843 come to mind ), seems like some old JD ag tractors had them too


filters are available from napa

what about an oil filter relocation kit? uses reg common sbf or sbc spin on oil filters.

Neohio has the right fix.

I was thinking of going that route; however, I'd like to put in a staged filtration system; otherwise, it's the same as the current setup. The first filter filters larger particles, then a second filter going for smaller particles, and finally a third for finer still.

Anally redundant? Yes, but that's how I am. There's a method to my madness, and by going with a single filter I can see it getting clogged easily. Even two stages would work, but when I think about it I could go two stages of the relocated oil filters.

Perhaps something like this?

Very nice. I think you're on to something. I got another idea brewing in my head.
