What ADBV? This filter only has an o-ring or gasket at the top of the center tube and is held against the top plate by the coil spring in the bottom. The filter mounts with the base plate at the top and is vertically oriented so no ABDV is needed. I recently cut 1 of these and the can of the filter is very robust.(thick) I went back with the Stratapore version on mine.

Ah ha, so that's why there wasn't an ADBV in his pics. I didn't know this filter didn't require one.
I am so sorry for thinking this. Can you ever forgive me?

There is no ADBV on Cummins Filters typically. They mount flange up, so they stay full.

No ADBV, no bypass valve. You can't go wrong with a Stratapore, but there are some other nice choices as well out there (Ultra, RP, Donaldson, M1, or the incredibly heavily built Bosch Distance Plus).
