Marine Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration System (BMK-18)
Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
Q.
|
Is the principle of operation of
the BMK-18 the same as the BMK-13, BMK-15, BMK-16, and BMK-17? |
|
A.
|
Yes, the
principle is exactly the same. For a given volume of oil being
filtered at one time, the full flow filter filters approximately
80-85% of the oil, while the by-pass filter filters
approximately 15-20% of the oil. |
|
Q.
|
What are the recommended
applications for the BMK-18? |
|
A.
|
Gasoline
powered inboard and inboard/outboard engines and light-duty
diesel inboard engines. For specific applications consult the
AMSOIL
website or the Adapter Kit Application Guide (G-2051). |
|
Q.
|
Is it necessary to install marine
filters when using the BMK-18? |
|
A.
|
Marine filters
are manufactured with an extra measure of corrosion resistance,
but using a marine filter is not necessary when following the
prescribed filter changes outlined in the BMK-18 instruction
sheet. (BP-239) |
|
Q.
|
Must I order a separate adapter
fitting when I order a BMK-18? |
|
A.
|
Yes. A spin on adapter kit must be ordered that matches your
application as found in the Applications Guide (G-2051).
There are four options:
- BK-195 (3/4" x 16 thread)
- BK-196 (13/16" x 16 thread)
- BK-197 (18 mm x 1.5 thread)
- BK-198 (20 mm x 1.5 thread
|
|
Q.
|
Why is the BMK-18 more expensive
than the other Dual Remote By-Pass Systems? |
|
A.
|
The BMK-18 is
designed to be installed in harsh marine environments. The hose
fittings are coated with a 3 ml layer of Alumiplate™ and 1 ml of
zinc and yellow chromate. Standard hydraulic fittings typically
survive for 96 hours in the grueling ASTM B-117 Salt Spray Test.
When we subjected the Alumiplate™ coated
AMSOIL
Marine Bypass System fittings to this critical corrosion
resistance test protocol, they lasted over 1,000 hours! This
means the Alumiplate™ coating on the fittings of the
AMSOIL
Marine By-Pass Filtration System is 10 times more corrosion
resistant than standard zinc and yellow chromate plated
fittings! While this exclusive Alumiplate™ coating process is
expensive,
AMSOIL
felt this extra margin of system protection was
absolutely necessary to provide marine application customers
with extraordinary corrosion resistance and protection - and the
peace of mind that goes with knowing that the
AMSOIL
Marine By-Pass System is engineered for demanding marine
applications. Also, the fasteners and mounting bracket are
stainless steel, and the hoses are larger diameter stainless
steel braided and U.S. Coast Guard approved. |
|
Q.
|
Where do I apply the anti-seize
compound that is supplied with the kit? |
|
A.
|
Apply a small
amount on the swivel end of each hose end fitting and on the
adapter retaining nut to avoid seizure. |
|
Q.
|
Where do I apply the thread
sealant? |
|
A.
|
On threaded
connectors that are mounted to the filter mount assembly and the
spin on adapter. |
|
Q.
|
Is the entire BMK-18 unit U.S.
Coast Guard approved? |
|
A.
|
No, only the
hose is U.S. Coast Guard approved. The other components,
designed for marine environments, are not regulated by the Coast
Guard. |
|
Q.
|
Can I use the BMK-18 in a vehicle
other than a boat? |
|
A.
|
Yes, you can
mount the BMK-18 onto any engine that will accept the
appropriate adapter and where room permits. |
|
Q.
|
Can I order replacement parts for
the BMK-18? |
|
A.
|
Yes.
Replacement parts are available at this point. However, it must
be ordered through our Superior product center at this time. |
|
Q.
|
Can I use the
AMS-Oiler
with the BMK-18? |
|
A.
|
Yes. The
AMS-Oiler
AMK-01 can be mounted directly on the BMK-18. The
AMK-02 can be mounted independently of the by-pass unit through
an engine lubrication port or via teeing off of the oil pressure
sending unit. |
|
Q.
|
Many salt-water boats have diesel
engines. Does AMSOIL
make a by-pass system for them? |
|
A.
|
The BMK-18 can
be used with many of the smaller diesel engines. As long as you
can match the filter thread size with the adapters available
from AMSOIL, the
system can be used. |
|
Q.
|
Does the BMK-18 remove water from
my oil? |
|
A.
|
The by-pass
filter isolates small amounts of moisture and condensation from
the oil stream. |
|
Q.
|
How does the BMK-18 compare to
other marine by-pass systems? |
|
A.
|
The BMK-18 is
unique due to the fact it has individual adapters for each
filter thread size. Also, the AMSOIL
Marine By-Pass has a combination of full flow and by-pass
filters in one unit. Most other by-pass filter units do not have
a full flow filter associated with the unit. |
|
Q.
|
What filter sizes come on the
BMK-18? How do I know which is best for my application? |
|
A.
|
The BMK-18 does
not come with filters. Depending on clearance available,
AMSOIL
recommends either the BE-90, BE-100, and BE-110 By-Pass Filters
and any AMSOIL
full flow filter with a ¾" x 16 thread. Preference would be
given to the AMSOIL
SDF-15 or the larger SDF-26. To provide maximum protection,
AMSOIL
recommends the installation of a filter that is large as
possible for the area available. |

making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
These filters have been proven by millions of miles of
over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet
service.
