Description

The factory Nissan filter is a restriction the fuel pump pays for in current and heat.

The Radium Engineering fuel filter kit for Nissan replaces the OEM filter plumbed between the fuel pump and the fuel rail. Because the Radium filter is less restrictive than the factory Nissan unit, there is less stress on the pump: lower pre-filter pressure means less current draw, lower fuel temperature, and an increase in fuel flow as a result. The install takes under an hour with a couple of wrenches, with no cutting or drilling.

Choose Your Kit

  • Stainless filter, 10 micron (20-0585-03): stainless steel mesh element, serviceable
  • Microglass filter, 6 micron (20-0585-05): finer filtration, element is not serviceable
  • Fuel filter mount only (20-1585): 2-piece clamp and hardware, no filter or fittings

What You'll Feel

  • A pump drawing less current because it is not fighting a restrictive filter
  • Lower fuel temperature, and more flow as a consequence
  • An install measured in minutes, using factory chassis studs
  • Element choice matched to your fuel and injectors

Features

  • Mounts to factory chassis studs
  • Formed anodized aluminum bracket with billet anodized 2-piece clamp
  • Clamp diameter 60mm (2.36in)
  • Anodized aluminum filter housing and fittings
  • Large 6AN rubber fuel hose with PushLok hose end for 6AN rails
  • Zinc plated locking nuts and stainless steel bolts
  • Withstands alternate fuels including methanol, ethanol, and E85

The Details

The two elements differ in more than micron rating. The 10 micron stainless steel mesh element is serviceable, so it can be cleaned and reused. The 6 micron microglass element is not serviceable and is replaced when spent. That trade matters as much as the filtration rating: finer filtration, or an element you maintain rather than replace.

The 20-1585 mount is for builds that already own a filter or are running custom plumbing; it supplies only the clamp and hardware, with fuel lines and fittings configured separately. Worth knowing that this clamp also fits an external Bosch 0 580 254 044 fuel pump, so the same bracket can carry a pump instead of a filter.
