A property change indicates a change in the lubricating capability of the oil. For this reason, it is important to analyze frequently the properties of used oil in relation to unused oil of the same type. One important electrochemical property of oil is its dielectric constant. “LUBRI-SENSOR” Oil Quality Analyzer, is a portable, low-cost, battery operated electron- ic instrument, which accurately detects, measures and indicates the total effect of contamination on the dielectric constant of oil. Contamination is usually caused by oil oxidation, water, acids, etc. Thus, “LUBRI-SENSOR” makes it possible to determine when oil is still usable, permitting longer intervals between changes. Both oil and labor costs can be controlled more easily. Even more important, costly overhauls can be postponed by detection of impending lubrication or mechanical failure. All this information is available in seconds, without sending samples elsewhere for analysis. And “LUBRI-SENSOR"” gives top performance, even with new synthetic oils. “LUBRI-SENSOR” TESTS TRUE OIL QUALITY Now... an instrument to analyze the true quality of lubri- cating oils, quickly, on-site!

Carrying Case Case with Foam Inserts. Holds NI-2B, Sensor Kleen, il Sample Bottles and Sampuller. LubrioSensor OIL QUALITY ANALYZER MODEL NI-2B Place in the sensor cup a sample of unused oil of the type to be tested, and adjust the meter needle to zero. If the oil type is not changed, this calibration need be done only once a day. Clean the sensor cavity and place in ita sample of the used oil. The meter needle will deviate in a direction (increase or decrease) of the change in the electrochemical property. Turn the deviation scale knob until the meter needle again stops at zero. The scale reading indicates the amount of the change. GROUP ONE (Moderate Dielectric Increase Effect) Fuel Soot, Sludge, Dirt, Oxidation or Acid As an engine runs, contamination such as fuel soot and oxidation will gradually in- crease or build up in the lubricant. The in- crease can be monitored by the “LUBRI- SENSOR" over a period of time, until a pre- determined point is reached, at which time the oil should be changed. Case Circuitry Height ABS Plastic Solid State 4" (10.2 cm) SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS GROUP TWO (Severe Dielectric Increase Effect) Water, Anti-Freeze or Metal Particles Readily detected by the “LUBRI-SENSOR’” is the presence of those contaminants which result in severe or erratic increases in the dielectric constant of oil. Whatever the speci- fic contaminant, immediate action is called for, to avoid potentially serious problems. The source of the contaminants must be identified. GROUP THREE (Moderate Dielectric Decrease Effect) Gasoline or Diesel Fuel When oil is diluted by gasoline the result isa moderate but decreasing effect in the dielec- tric constant. This indication, however slight, calls for immediate steps to be taken to iden- tify the source of dilution.

Most all filters on the market today use some form of paper fibers or corregated paper as filtering elements. The Gulf Coast paper towel Filters also use paper but in the form of a roll of quality 6’’ OD paper towels such as Bounty. Using paper towels provides the means for many times more ounces of fil- tering medium which produces a more efficient and cost effective filter. Almost every magazine to do with maintenance has companies explaining why you should buy their filter elements. We can supply you with our Gulf Coast Filter and not tie you down to us or anyone else for the elements to fit it. All of our Heavy-Duty filters were designed around a quality 6”’ roll of paper towels available at more loca- tions than all other filter elements combined! Using the same element for both oil and fuel makes more sense to us. We believe you will agree. The factory filters on your diesel equipment will last much longer, and you already know what they cost, just so long as you service our filters on a regular basis and keep your engine maintained in a normal manner. Clean oil in a healthy engine does not have to be drained and replaced. Also, it is plain common sense that an engine will last longer and perform with more power and efficiency with clean oil and clean fuel rather than dirty oil and dirty fuel. So, step up to the ‘ highly advanced and the most cost effective filter that YOU SHOULD BE USING, ‘‘Filters that Really Work’”’ from Gulf Coast Filters, Inc. GULF COAST FILTERS, INC.

FUEL WHY SPEND YOUR DOLLARS ON FILTERS THAT WERE DESIGNED FOR THE PROBLEMS: OF THE PAST? INSTALL A GCF PAPER TOWEL FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR AND: VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE DOWNTIME AND INJECTOR PROBLEMS DUE TO TODAY’S HEAVILY CONTAMINATED FUEL. The Problem: Contaminated FUEL (Diesel or Gasoline) The Causes: Storage, condensation, transfer operations, sloppy maintenance procedures, chemical reactions, and other causes. The Result: Damaged storage tanks, fuel tanks, filters, injector pumps, injectors, and finally, DOWNTIME. The Solution: Install a GCF Fuel Filter (single, double, or in banks or 2 or more singles or doubles, depending on volume desired.) Advantages: 1. First, and foremost, IT WORKS. The GCF Fuel Filter is positively the best buy on the market today. It is simple to install, even more simple to service. 2. The elements are available at more locations than all other Fuel Filter elements combined.* (How many times have you run out of filter elements after the parts houses have closed?) 3. Conventional filter elements (Primary and/or secon- dary filters presently on your engine) will last indefinite- ly when the GCF Fuel Filter element is serviced at neces- sary intervals (at the first loss of RPM or an increase of 3-5’’ above clean filter reading on vacuum gauge). Clean filter reading on vacuum gauge ideally should be 0” but never over 7’? under maximum load. Higher reading than 7’’ indicates additional filter(s) needed in parallel. 4. Inventory costs are drastically lowered since conven- tional elements are seldom replaced and since the GCF Fuel Filter element is the same for all engines. 5. Contrary to popular belief, water is not the primary cause of downtime in a diesel engine...it is all of the other contaminants combined. Water can be effectively removed with simple water-traps. The element used in GCF’s Fuel Filter not only cleans but ‘‘drys”’ the fuel. Compare any conventional filter element with the ele- ment recommended for GCF’s Fuel Filter. And there the comparison ends. *The element recommended for the GCF Fuel Filter is a large roll of Quality paper towels, available at the near- est supermarket. Keeping the right amount of products available is of ut- most importance to keep customers from turning to other products that did arrive on time. Clean fuel keeps the en- gine purring at peak efficiency with no injector or pump Failures. Its CAT 3406 engine also runs on clean oil thru a GCF paper towel oil filter. Dennis Dauro, owner of this $140,000 shrimp boat, does not worry about where he buys fuel...he has used paper towel oil and fuel filters for several years. But, when at home, he always fills up at James Murray’s Fuel Dock thru this bank of 12 GCF Model “‘B’’ double-element fuel filters at 48 gpm at 45 psi. Dennis likes to kid, ‘‘Getting clean fuel from James saves my paper towels on the boat.’’ When your fleet only fills at a central location, it is often- times much more cost-effective to place the fuel filters at the pump instead of on each individual piece of equipment. Also is outstanding for service trucks delivering your fuel to remote operating locations. A GCF by-pass oil filter on the tractor insures clean oil and long engine life. ’ OIL We can eliminate oil changes and increase engine life ‘WITH A BY-PASS GCF PAPER TOWEL FILTER AND LABORATORY OIL ANALYSIS. WHY ADD A BY-PASS OIL FILTER? To answer this question it is important to review the full-flow and by-pass filter systems. In the full-flow system, all the oil that lubricates the engine is first pumped through the full-flow filter. Since this amount of oil is quite large, 10 to 20 quarts in a V8 car engine and much more in a large diesel engine, the full-flow must be porous (somewhat like a sieve) so that it will not restrict this large volume of oil. The advantages of the full-flow system are: It protects the bearings and all other moving parts of the engine since the oil has to go through it first. It is especially useful during break-in when close tolerance parts are “‘wearing-in’’. By filtering all the oil used in lubricating the precision parts, the larger particles that could seri- ously damage the engine are removed. EXCEPT: during start-up, if the oil is too cold or thick to readily flow through the filter, the pressure relief valve opens and allows unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine. Also, this valve opens when the full-flow filter becomes clogged. The reason for this is that dirty oil is better than no oil. In the by-pass system, the oil is regulated through the filter in a very small amount and then returns directly to the oil pan. This filtering system filters a small percent- age of the oil and refreshes the engine with oil that has passed slowly through a much denser element than the full-flow element. Since it filters at a very slow rate, and it is not responsible for supplying oil for lubrication, it is possible to insert a very dense element that will trap the microscopic particles that grind away the precision moving parts of the engine. With the proper element, it also can remove sluge producing contaminants (mostly water and carbon particles). The disadvantage, of course, is that only a small portion of the oil is filtered at a time. An interesting note is that many industrial en- gines still come factory equipped with only the by-pass filter system. SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER? Both! If your engine is equipped with a full-flow filter system leave it intact to do its designed function of pro- tecting the moving parts of the engine. Add a quality GCF by-pass filter to keep the oil CLEAN!

Nov. 9, 1985, INDAL ALUMINUM’S #407 had run 117,275 miles without a single expensive oil change!! Oil analysis confirms the excellent condition of the 400HP CUMMINS engine and the 15 W-40 oil. Each 12,000 miles it costs about $14.00 for 2 rolls of Bounty and make-up oil plus 10 min. labor to service the GCF B-1 Oil Filter. (Marvin Matheny, Truck Mgr.
