I know that this filter may only be available here in South America, but since i took the pictures and always love to see different C&P here, i thought i wil share it anyway.

  • Car: 1994 Chevrolet Kadett - 1.8 SOHC 4 cyl.
  • Fuel: 100% Ethanol
  • Milage and time: 1700 miles and 6 months (Normally i drive more than 2,5k miles @ 6 months, but covid happened)
  • Oil used: Rimula RT4 X 15W40 (SL / E7 / 228.3) HDEO

It was a nice surprise to see that they changed the ADBV to a more traditional silicon type, the last one i used still had the "spring type" design, with a thin rubber on top:

You are welcome!

Like @ZeeOSix said, E100 burns very clean (and smell delicious too). There is no soot to worry about anywhere.

Thank you sir Stude! The same combo went back in: fresh Shell Rimula (date on bottle 22/06/2020) and the Mann filter, which appears to be a different model again, the can is black (the one i posted was yellow) and the ADBV was grey not white, i guess i will figure out what changed inside on the next OC.
 
Wait, isn’t 100% EtOH not feasible since ethanol forms an azeotrope with water, hence why Everclear is sold as 95% alcohol?

still, clean filter - alcohol burns clean. I think Mann also sells that filter for Saabs too.
 
Yes, when i am referring to E100 is just to say there is no gasoline mixture. But the hydrous ethanol, which is the one sold as fuel here, contains around 95% ethanol and 5% water. The anhydrous ethanol, is about 99,7%, but is used only to mix with gasoline.
