The GoldenRod 496-5 Fuel Filter Element is the replacement, 17 micron paper cartidge for the GoldenRod 496 water block fuel filter. You should change your GoldenRod filter element when you notice the flow rate of your system dropping, as this indicates the fuel tank filter is getting full.

We would recommend using the GoldenRod filter wrench when changing the paper element to limit the risk of cracking of the bowl whilst trying to screw it off with force, and ensure it is screwed back on tight enough to prevent leaks. Features of the GoldenRod 496-5 Filter Element:

Filter element only
Water block filter
17 micron paper cartridge
For GoldenRod 496 fuel filters
Suitable for diesel, bio up to B20, petrol

Excellent product — exactly as described.

Used this on a JCB 3CX turbo downpipe. Fits perfectly, holds up very well to heat cycles. Much better than the fibreglass wrap I used previously — no itching, easier to handle. Will definitely be ordering again.

Great value, fast delivery.

Good quality wrap for the price. Arrived next day which was great. The 50mm width covered my headers nicely with a bit of overlap. Holds up well after a few heat cycles.

Decent product, application tricky without soaking first.

Wrap itself is good quality but I'd strongly advise soaking in water for 10–15 mins before wrapping — it makes it much more pliable and easier to apply. Didn't do this first time and it was frustrating. Product is fine though, no complaints.
