Had mine in for about two years now and used it about 5-8 times. It has never cut off because of heat. A key thing to keep in mind it is to keep the engine running while using compressor.2010 Prado 150 GXL Diesel, Cooper AT3, ARB compressor, Catch Can, Redarc BCDC 1225, Projecta DBC150, Optima YellowTop and RedTop D34, Pioneer Backbone Platform

Getting ready to pull the trigger on amts MKII bracket but need to check a couple of quick questions.
1. With a Racor 230T filter is it necessary to file down the bottom valve to make it possible to open and close it?
2. With a CKMA12 are the 2 spare outlets still accessible for future airlocker use?
3. With a Racor 230T i understand it needs to be removed to replace the filter?
4. A few years on, has there been and failures that would be attributed to excess heat due to the cramped install position?
Lastly amts, whats the lead time on a MKII compatible with racor filter + switch bracket?Check out our blog documenting our around Australia adventure: [URL="http://fealyfamily.wordpress.com/"]http://fealyfamily.wordpress.com/[/URL] 07 GXL D4D, Bilstein shocks, Dobinson coils, Red Arc isolator, 105Ah Allrounder dual battery, heavy duty outlet in rear for the CF80 Waeco.

2 1/2 years later and I'm finally putting this in
A couple of questions...
* Are there written instructions that I can give my mechanic.. (still time/skill poor so it's off to the mechanic)
* Which water separator fits best with the bracket... (mkII ordered and received Dec 2013)
I noticed someone mentioned filing off something... is this the bracket I would have?Cheers, Leon
There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!

I'll need a pic of the bracket to be sure. Racor 230R will definitely fit. The FM100 requires an additional bkt on the original MK2 but will now fit without an additional bkt on the revised version.
Is one filter better than the other? I haven't bought anything yet so happy to go with what fits easier if no difference in performance that you know of.Cheers, Leon
