Two caveats about the O-1 Jr. (1) Since it is an oil bypass filter by 
design, you have to drill out the bypass restriction. Ask'em how at GCF. (2) 
It's critical to have some way to remove water prior to this filter since it 
will tolerate only a tiny amount. The TP swells up and the filter shuts 
down. Mucho vacuum on the gauge. Put in a simple sediment bulb or something 
ahead of the O-1. If you don't ask me how I know this, I won't be forced to 
tell an embarassing story.

Regards.
