Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil

Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil

Bel-Ray Foam Filter Oil . The internal components of a well-functioning machine consist of a myriad of metal parts that move against each other within the tightest tolerances. Foreign particles are an absolute nightmare for these parts. If the inside of an engine were to become contaminated, the debris would cause catastrophic damage when trapped within these tight tolerances.

Through metal housings, seals, and gaskets, the entire interior of the engine is protected from the harmful elements of the environment in which it is used. Since air from the surrounding environment is necessary for the combustion process, the air filter acts as the "seal" of the air intake. It has the important function of preventing airborne particles from entering the engine, even the finest dust particles that could cause engine damage. What makes its job difficult is that it must do so without restricting airflow and affecting engine performance.
Air filters for most ATVs and off-road motorcycles incorporate foam air filters. When enlarged, it can be seen that the foam of a filter is three

Dimensional network of polyurethane strands. As the dust passes through the foam material, it collides with these threads and is trapped as the air continues to the motor. The foam alone works to mechanically trap airborne particles, but for maximum filtration you need to use filter oil. The filter oil coats the strands of foam material and gives them a tacky, sticky property.

Filter oil is a very viscous oil, so viscous that it cannot even be poured. When you get a bottle or can of filter oil, it contains the oil diluted with a carrier solvent. The solvent makes the oil thin enough to pour (or spray) on and work evenly throughout the filter. After being applied to the filter, the carrier solvent begins to evaporate leaving an effective filter oil film. The properties of this film vary greatly between brands. As you will discover shortly, not all filter oils are created equal.

Available in spray or 1 liter bottle.
