    I'm, sorry to sway your dead wrong.  FALSE  information !  There are many
filters on the market that have the proper  valves, anti drain back and over
pressure.  You just need to look and  ask.  Quality of the filtering media is
another question.  You will  not know the results of poor quality filtering
until it's too late.  Using  and selling high quality German made Hengst filters
here in all mine and my  customers Vanagons.
