Donaldson/Tempest Filters

[Brian2034]

Time to dump the Brackett and upgrade? To a different filter 

Donaldson or Tempest

The Donaldson has good reviews and seems to offer an increase in manifold pressure. (On back order in Canada)

I can’t find much information on the Tempest filter but some forums say Tempest are the same type filter as the Donaldson, some have suggested the Tempest is a relabeled Donaldson. (available in Canada).

Any experience here with either, especially the Tempest

We put a Tempest filter on a Piper Arrow and it seems equivalent to a Donaldson, its synthetic paper media.  They flow more air than a Brackett.

@Brian2034 I've used Donaldson filters since I purchased the Mooney.  Easy to care for.  Works well.  No experience with Tempest, but sounds like they're equivalent.  If you can't find one, go with the other.  They're both synthetic media.

That’s what I was thinking, Donaldson and Tempest are the same type filter. It looks like Spruce.ca carries Tempest but has to special order Donaldson.
