HOw much can you get Uni filter tube style for 57mm?  i been using the green one but they seem to fall apart after a while, you rub finger on them and the foam balls up and fall off, whats the go there ? even with those foam cover they seem to do the same, have i got old stock foam or dotn they like petrol or somthing.  Im looking for an alternative or a better run with them.

Most brands of filters don’t like petrol, some more so than others.
Petrol, Metho, Diesel & Kero will all have a detrimental effect on the filter material

Unifilter recommends Mineral turps for cleaning, or their own “Foam filter Cleaner” rinsed out with water

yes i usually A) forget to kleen them or b) do so inleft over 2 stroke fuel then rinse in warm water.

I would say there are about 8-10 of the green little forkers here all peeling/rotting out some on layed up bikes which cant be good for them, even the stage covers are rooted to. 

I have had better success with the K&M which are a little more $  but seem to last foreva and dont rot out.  But they seem to be like hens teeth to find at a reasonable price in Au.

I cant get my head around the foam rotting if its designed for a petrol induction bike you think they would use solvent proof foam.   The Twin air on my 01 KTm is the original filter and looks perfect even after heaps of the same washes.  Do twin air make tube filters in 57mm they seem to have a much more stable foam and might be a good price to  ?

Freaky,
I found the same problem with some uni-filter filters even when using the no-toil concuction.
i have been using Motorex air filter cleaner on all my filters for about 18months now and it is the best stuff I have even used bar none.
Try it you won't regret it.

I've had the same trouble with the Uni filter on my Maico. It wouldn't be 2 years old and it's gone rotten, the foam tore easily when i went to remove it to wash it. Not sure if it's the petrol i wash it in or motul filter oil that has destroyed it.

[Freakshow]

yes im thinking the Uni are cheaper but disposable, i got to many dead ones to believe its just my bad luck.

When all else fails, read the instructions

Unifilter recommends Mineral turps for cleaning, not petrol

[Freakshow]

im not sure thats going to make any differance. i got uni filter used but never cleaned and they are still rotted.  :'(

[jimg1au]

DO NOT USE PETROL it rots the filters.i got a tip from my enduro racing mates the cheapest way is to wash in degreaser he uses caltex brand then soap and water then fresh water,DO NOT WRING OUT EITHER .they use 1 air filter evey lap he has heaps and none go rotten
cheers

I have even washed em in hot soapy water,  they still look like shit after a while and start to peel.

in the 21th cetuary i cant see why we dont have sovent proof foam.

with the grey foam universal unifilter road bike pods you are not ment to use normal air filter oil. the instructions say soak in a 50/50 mix of petrol and engine oil only, wipe off access and allow fuel to evaporate off. they say normal foam filter oil restricts them. so if they sayssoak them in fuel and oil before fitting i would assume it would be safe to wash these pods in fuel. the instructions say this and its the first time ive seen these intsructions with unifilters. i would say that fuel on their other filters is still a no no though and you should use mineral turps only. any way this really surprised me when i came across this.

[Freakshow]

grey uni ? are the normal tube pods ?  would they also take a pre cover ?
