Pricing a filter for my hydraulic steering system....an inline filter (with brass screen) is $150.00-$225.00 !!! The same (or at least very similar- billet aluminum) inline fuel filter with a paper element is only $89.00 !! What's the deal???????
Is there an alternative ? in the regular hydraulic world?????

The filter that I used on my system was 10 micron and an aluminum canister, oring seal fittings nothing fancy .It cost around $70 I will look through my files at work to see if I can find a brand etc.

Thanks Rob (rws), that is much more reasonable. I await your research!!

Here's what I'm using:

Hey thanks cigarette 1 !!

That's only $94.00 as compared to $225.00....does the filter come with it? ($14.00)
Thanks for the info! This further proves you really have to shop around as there IS a vast difference in prices for the same products (see oil thermostat post)

I got it!! bought it thru Bob Teague Marine 661-295-7000 (Adrianne) paid $86.00 + $13.00 for filter. less expensive than thru IMCO & it's is their product!

Thanks for the lead.
